Being able to readily identify your dog is a necessity these days. At times, our dogs may escape a fenced in yard or simply wander off…at other times, and more seriously, our dogs may even be stolen. (Unfortunately, we’ve seen our fair share of such stories like that here on this blog. Thankfully, they have all had good endings.)
