Thanks to her microchip, Luna, a 5-year-old English Bulldog found wandering in Milwaukee, will be reunited with Isa Mendoza in Miami, her original owner, on Sunday..
On New Year’s Day in 2008, Isa left Luna alone in the backyard for just a minute. When she went back outside, Luna was gone. Puppy-napped in broad daylight.
Luna was picked up by animal control in Milwaukee and when they scanned her, looking and hoping she had been microchipped…jackpot! Luna had a microchip! They contacted Isa and told her they had Luna. “To know she’s alive and is on her way over to me is heartwarming,” Isa said. For the time being, Luna is hanging out in a loving, caring foster home.
It’s obvious Luna has had puppies from the Cesaerian scar on her tummy. “Unfortunately, she probably was bred at one point or another,” Jessica Huber of the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission said.
Isa is planning a celebration to welcome Luna home. Should be a doggone good time!
Microchipping your dog is so important in locating lost animals and reuniting those who have been stolen with their owners. Registering the chip and keeping your address updated with the microchip company is equally important. Many communities offer discounts on microchipping or your veterinarian can implant the chip in your dog.
