It is with tears of joy that I write
this letter to you. About four -
months ago I lost my Pedigree ~
Pomeranian dog, Nandy. I
searched and searched fur sev-
eral weeks, but to no avail.

~ despite my perseverance, it
' became apparent that someone
had picked Nandy up and must have adopted her as
.
i their own. She wore a collar, but it is easy to remove.
;i f eventually had to deal with the reality that there was
no hope of ever seeing Nantly again. 1 truly love this
dug...
The pleasant part of this story is shortly after Nandy's
birth we had the forethought to implant the. dog with
one oP your identification chips. L must admit that
after the first month went by, there was low expeeta-
Lion of seeing the dog again... However, miracles still

again. This time she was picked up by animal control t
