Say, you lose your dog. He gets a little wanderlust and-boom-hes disappeared. Time passes, you see a familiar pooch and wow! Its your dog! Or is it? Legally, companion animals are considered property but they’re treated differently than other forms of property like cars or furniture. If there is a dispute of ownership in court, the laws require interpretation by a judge and aren’t black and white. The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends pet owners microchip their dogs because the dog has a much better chance to be reunited with their owners. But a microchip doesn’t guarantee you’ll get your lost or even stolen dog back. This article talks about the current laws and future legal implications of ownership and microchips. Is your pet chipped? Why did you choose to and what do you think the laws on ownership should dictate?
