It was a warm Friday night around 10:00 p.m. we had just let our little Susie out to go to the bathroom, before retiring.

It was then that the fireworks started. Susie is only 9 months old and was scared to death and started running, her being black she blended into the night. We searched all night calling and riding around our neighborhood in the car calling her name. Around daylight on Saturday a.m. we continued to search, but NO Susie. I called the "HomeAgain" at 8:00 am on Saturday morning to report her lost. When we had Susie spayed about a month ago, we had the microchip put in. We talked about not spending the extra money now but decided it was worth it.

At 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning, we got a call from HomeAgain saying they had a lady on line that had Susie. We jumped for JOY. She was 3 blocks away and boy we could not get there fast enough. To make a long story short, we have never regretted a moment spending the extra money to have Susie w/ the microchip. If we had not had that we might have never found her. She did have her regular tag from the Vet, but it was a holiday weekend and the Vet was closed as well as the humane society. It would have been Monday before we could have contacted anyone to report her missing.
