It's a sad thing to lose a beloved pet. This
is what happened1Linda
Edwards. 16 years ago, her pet cat Spaz went missing. However, 12 years2he got lost, Spaz was returned to her. How
come? It sounds like a mystery, doesn't it?
Spaz went missing in 2002 and Edwards3him for three months. She tried every
possible way but was never able to find him. Finally, she gave up.
But one day someone found a dirty, thin cat
and took4to
an animal hospital. The veterinarians (兽医) checked
to see whether he carried a microchip (微芯片) .5, he did. So they got to know his name and
owner.
"A
good man6a
cat and brought him here. The cat, whose name is Spaz, has been missing for 12
years!" The animal hospital wrote on its Facebook page. And then, a (n) 7reunion
(团聚) happened.
The microchip does a good job. Sometimes cats
or dogs run away, or somebody may steal them and take off their collars (颈圈) , making it8to
recognize (认出) them. Those pets that carry a microchip
allow animal services to find out if the pets have a9waiting for them.
Thanks to the microchip, Edwards10get her pet cat back.
