Huxley the dog can’t tell us the story of his two-year adventure, but he still has a couple of important messages for pet owners. Microchip your pets and they just might be returned if they get lost or stolen. And, just as important, keep your personal information up to date with the microchip database. Because if you don’t, you might not be able to prove your dog or cat is your dog or cat. Thanks to his microchip, Huxley was being returned last week to past owners who now live in Nevada, but used to live in Southern Cal... Full story
