Default You CAN keep your dog from getting lost

I have a little Morkie who is my heart and soul. I do not want to lose him ever. He wears an embrodered collar with his name and phone number. He is microchipped. AND I HAVE A GPS FOR HIM, yes, that is right, a gps. Its called Whistle (whistle.com). It costs about $70 and then a monthly subscription of about $6 or $7. Well worth it for me to never lose my baby. It works on your computer or smartphone. You set boundaries and when the dog leaves that area, it sends an alert. You can then track your dog so you don't have to wait for it to be found. You can go out and get it- before it gets hit by a car or eaten by an alligator or coyote. My baby is 10 lbs and while the device that attaches to his collar is a little big for such a small dog, I don't care as long as it lets me get my dog back as soon as possible! Please consider this small investment to keep your dog from being lost. Now if they will only make smaller ones for cats!
