Dogs in the forest

Yesterday I wrote about a city who, knowing that they did not have a decent shelter, took the stray dogs and left them near a forest. Today, on the news they said that people went to the forest to find the dogs. They were only able to find one dog. It would have had more sense to put a unique dog collar on them with sensors so that they could track the dog’s journey in the forest. I guess if they did not have the money for a shelter, they probably did not have the money, or the concern, to place tracking dog collars on these dogs.

Imagine your dog lost in a national forest. Having a personalized dog collar on your dog could save him from a situation like this. We would see the personalized dog collar and then be able to return the dog to it’s rightful owners. One city in Arkansas, required all dogs to have microchips and be vaccinated for rabies. However, how often we think that our dogs won’t go far, and therefore we fail to put a personalized dog collar on our precious pet. Another reason pet owners fail to place a personalized dog collar on their dog they are afraid the collar will be uncomfortable for their pet. This is a legitimate concern for pet owners. If the dog is a house dog, pet owners tend to think they will always be safe.
