After a successful checkup, Miles’ veterinarian talked to his owner about the importance of microchipping. His owner insisted that Miles was under constant supervision, and decided that microchipping him was not necessary. A few weeks later, Miles was let into the yard for a bathroom break. The owner went inside to answer the phone, and was only gone for a brief moment. In that short period, Miles found a small opening in the fence and escaped. The owner searched desperately for weeks, posting “Lost” flyers and checking shelters and hospitals, but unfortunately there was no sign of Miles.
