The theme of lost colleagues and the need for us to have some form of ID on us at all times has been shown to work this week according to a story in the Telegraph Newspaper.
They are reporting that a beagle called Rocco has been reunited after five years away from his humans.
The dog shelter, over 850 miles from home, scanned the ID chip he had under his skin and was able to get in touch with his owners.
Other news
It is well known that in some civilisations the dog is regarded as a god. Indeed if you reverse the letters of dog it spells out god .. so it must be true.
The way we are able to offer a calming wag of the tail or a friendly snuggle is just our way so it is great to see that we are now, in some circles, being honoured with the courtesy we really deserve.
After years in the yard with only a copy of the Radio Times spread on the floor of the dog house and the occasional mouse for company we are getting recognised for our contributions.
Many hotels, travel companies and transport organisations are acknowledging that we exist and that we can behave when in public.
This shift in status brings with it a new industry catering for pets on the move and the transportation safely of pets.
A number of articles are now being written in the trade press and in newspapers about this previously untapped market and identifying it as a growth area in the next few years.

And finally…
Well done to Hudson, from Broxburn, who has just been presented with an award.
According to the Scotsman newspaper when out walking, his owner collapsed with a heart attack. Hudson barked and licked his face until he came around and helped him back home.
Sadly a few days later Hudsons owner died but, in recognition of the role Hudson played in helping in the initial recovery, the Dog Aid Society of Scotland is due to present him with a devotion award.
Until next time
Charlie and Buster.
