Microchip brings dog home after 12 years

[Catherine]

If there is a fee to keep the microchip registration current, there must be many microchips that haven't been kept up.
Not too many people would continue to pay the fee for 12 years.

If anyone had taken the dog to a shelter in the 12 lost years, they would have seen the microchip and she would have come home sooner. I can't imagine where Duchess has been or how she traveled so far. Good thing someone finally had her checked for a microchip.
