GL: Pets into Canada

[Peggy Bjarno]

Our lab, Dory, loves us dearly but once she finds a scent having any 
interesting spice whatsoever she is GONE, deaf to our pleas and blind to 
her route away. So we had her "chipped" about six months ago. It cost us 
$35, and she is nationally registered -- I'm assuming that a Canadian 
vet finding a chip would also have access to the registry. It's 
inexpensive reassurance.
