There are a hundred different reasons why someone could have lost their pet…they could be in the hospital or elderly. They could be blind. The bottom line is, YOU DON’T KNOW.
Checking for a microchip is task #1 when you find a lost pet. At least WD understands this, as much as his wife likes the cat. If someone is a true animal lover, they understand that their own feelings come last. It’s all about what is best for the animal, not your desire to cuddle with the thing.
