he was missing since feb. 4th and found i believe this past thursday, a few miles from home, weighing 47lbs, from 70 something. vet gave him antibotics and fluids and recommended plenty of rest and he will be just find.

my girls and i drove 1- 1/2 hour up there 2 weekends ago searching in the same woods were he was found, but we had no luck. thank goodness a man seen him when octane decided to come out of the woods.

i hear the greyhound association might have a welcome home party for octane.

For those who own pets,

you can have an avid chip put into your pet, and register it.

Helps to return the animal to it's owners.....

I'm doing it for my kitty, and Lab has had it for 7 years with no problem.

When licensing the animals with the City of Aurora, where I live, I also gave them the AVID chip numbers.

If an animal is found with this chip, it saves them from being destoyed during the 1 or 2 normal grace period. They track down the owners, or the vet, as needed.

I love my kitty and Doggie (DC - DDG) Disney Cat, Disney Dog

thank you for the advise

when adopting a greyhound from a rescue group, all the greyhounds come with the avid chip, great idea, except when i went to our village to register my pooch, i let my village know that he had a avid chip and the responce was, we dont need to know that


but it is a great idea

I could just cry looking at that picture. I will pray for Octane's recovery. He looks just like my MeiMei with the light brindle.

I'm from Northeastern PA where I adopted my two greys and they didn't come with an AVID chip. Hubby mentioned it recently and this story definitely has me sold.
