Finally, a dog with a microchip that the family wants back.

[@hoiyawhal5695]

acoustic61 RIGHT!!!!

[@jamesporter6288]

I was thinking the same thing.. when it said the family was from Arizona (my state) I was so sure it was going to say they were unable to get her or didn't want her. Do glad I was wrong

[@jewelsthecat5331]

C emarry A microchip is a small device that vets will put into dogs and cats, so if they get lost and taken to a shelter or veterinarian clinic, it’s very easy to find the owners. And unlike a collar, which can fall off or choke the animal, the microchip is harmless and will always be inside the animal.

[@jamesporter6288]

@C emarry to expand on what Jewels thecat said, the chip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted just under the skin of the dog/cat, usually on the back between the shoulders

[@kenrivers9757]

I was thinking the same thing😥😥😥😥 sad.

[@neellie9474]

I was already crying with the whole firefighters, and everyone thanking each other bit. But then when they scanned that chip, I was like "Oh great. Bet you anything the owners are not going to want her back and will probably surrender her to the rescue like the others in Eldad's video, especially since her leg is broken." But the moment they said *"her name is Tinkerbell"* I automatically knew I was wrong, that who ever gave her that name would be back for her. Sometimes names just carry a person's love. You can just tell that that dog was loved by her name alone. I'm so happy to see that the _entire_ family came back just to pick her up. It was a great moment. Every country should make it mandatory to chip your dogs. If Tink's family hadn't chipped her they would have never found her again.

[@neellie9474]

***** You can get them chipped at a shelter or a vet. As for price, I'm from Toronto and if you go to the vet, they'll chip your dog for 50 bucks. If you go to a shelter, they'll chip your dog for 15 bucks. So if price is an issue, the shelter might be a better option for you. You can go get them chipped at either of those places though.

[@ivyspirit1912]

I know right I was the same

[@mog3080]

Majo Escobar at any Animal hospital/animal clinic.

[@fictionalbeauty]

It broke my heart when she looked at him and then let him pet her. Sometimes it takes awhile for dogs to trust again but you can tell that she just really wanted someone to love and take care of her again.

[@FrancescaAustin]

Most breeders provide chipped pups these days, and all shelters microchip dogs and cats before they are adopted. But many people don't register the chip in their name so if they move after adopting or purchasing an animal, the shelter or breeder can't locate them - if the pet is lost and scanned for the chip. So make sure where ever you register the chip you also keep it up to date.

[@chaoticconjuring]

So many of the dogs you rescue have this look in their eyes “they threw me away... they didn’t want me anymore... I’ve lost my family...why don’t they love me anymore...” It was so amazing to see that look turn to pure happiness when she was reunited with her owners. Thank you for all that you do and for reuniting Tinkerbell with her family 💜

[@ds7900]

Well stated.

[@rosamariamayosfarrera1027]

[@swordkingx4874]

Why can't more people be like this family?! Not only was she microchiped but when they were called about her they came for her and you can tell just by her body language that she was overjoyed to see them all again. Unlike other ones who just abandon them because they can't take care of them or don't want them anymore.

I understand. This was a great story with a lovely ending. I cried a lot. It was picture perfect, almost like a model for what we hope to one day accomplish. It was just too ideal. But THESE ARE THE VISIONS OF PROPHECY I HAVE! The common bond that unites us all is the love for dogs and the human instinct to help a dog or cat in pain. Thank you all of you, LAFD, Hope for paws, and loving citizens of LA with a heart left to love. This is a great sign!

Because people are the worst animals? They betray, they steal, they lie, they kill each other for no reason.. If they can't respect their own kind and blood, why expect them to have humanity for an animal. We can only try to be better, but not all of us will succeed. Sad reality..

Thanks for making me cry.....with happiness.

Jim Burg that happened to me as well

[@aprilasbahr]

I cried thru this whole video. I pray Tinkerbells paw and leg heals. And I just know this family will donate SOMETHING EVERY MONTH!!! 💕

[@shaunaanderson7387]

I couldn't handle this one! Even when a microchip is found the owners don't want them back! This story turned out different and the dog was reunited with her loving family. One less dog in a shelter!!! Microchip your dogs people no matter What!!! If you love and cherish your animal do them that favor and MICROCHIP!!! HOPE FOR PAWS I LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY!!!!

Some people might think.."It's just a dog." When I looked in her eyes I saw a sad old soul.

"Your mom is coming" ... yep, had to pause it right there cause i couldn't see anymore (tears). That's so rare, to be able to reunite a loved and missed pet with their family, I'm just so happy for them all!! ☺️ Thank you for what you do, Hope For Paws!

[@loris466]

She was so happy and it was so sweet to see the dad with the camera...I had some tears in my eyes 😭

You could tell that the family had treated her kindly because of her disposition when they were trying to catch her. I love happy endings.

When people really care about their pets, they microchip them so they can get them back if they run away.

[@bambamnj]

Can you just imagine what it would be like to lose your dog in another city and not be able to find them? What those three weeks without the dog must have been like and then to get that call that someone had found your pet? I had to put my last dog to sleep as he was dying of kidney failure. It was the first time I had to do it alone. Afterwards, I took him home and buried him next to my barn. Then I cried the rest of the night and no I'm not one of those overly sentimental people. It was more a case that he was the only thing I had left, and then he was gone. I can only imagine the joy of getting back a pet you think you've lost.

[@sasharules2007]

Honestly you don't have be a genius to figure out that July 4th (and any other time at which people are known to use fireworks) is a dangerous date in which many non-human animals get lost, injured and even die. You have to guess in advance that the dog might jump over a fence specially if it's not his/her home. Besides, in addition to using a microchip, which I am not 100% a fan of, owners MUST ensure their dogs wear a collar with an ID tag with their name and contact phone clearly stated on it. This dog might have been saved much sooner by regular folks who happen to see her had she been wearing an ID tag. This is a commentary for anyone reading. And I am very very sorry for your loss.

[@bambamnj]

@@sasharules2007 I tend to not judge situations where I don't know all of the facts. You might want to try doing that. "non-human animals"? what kind of person uses that terminology. I'm pretty sure 99.99% of the people who are able to use the internet would understand if you used the term "animals" that you're not talking about humans. Sorry if I took your post wrong but it just came across as a self-righteous animal rights rant. I don't feel these people did anything intentionally harmful to their dog. Accidents happen, people make mistakes. Let's not jump all over people we don't know regarding a situation we don't know everything about. This is a nice video about a reunion between a pet and it's owners. Let's keep it that way.

[@guypierson5754]

@@maybrad5260 Maybe not, some people find a lost dog in bad shape and take care of it and keep it. I did this back in the... wanna say late 80's, little doggo walked up to our farmhouse, wasn't a puppy, and wasn't a dog from any of the neighbors places. So we patched him up and gave him some dinner and no-one ever came looking for him so he lived with us the rest of his life. He used to go walkabout sometimes, and weeks later he'd roll back up, all beaten up, looking really happy with himself like he'd been on huge week long stag-do bender. We'd put disinfectant on his cuts and give him his dinner and he would be home again for a few weeks. I always think: that coulda been someone's best friend, but we didn't keep him by force, he came and went as he wanted, so I dunno, I don't think I stole someone's dog, more felt like he was a hired hand, would come and do some ratting, then he'd be off looking for female friends and fighting, like all the tough guys ;)

[@verajohns6599]

Bucky Dynamite.. What an unpleasant illogical thing to say to a man of integrity. He gives directions to his colleagues to speedily and safely rescue these poor animals some of them in excruciating pain and all of them unhappy and distressed. You are one of nature's monsters. Please try to be more appreciative of others achievements or better yet attempt to help others yourself. I am afraid you sound like a couch potato.

That is because no one pays attention to humans that are in the same condition as that dog was when he was found in the river. If we did, we would learn many stories from them too.

You can report them. Under their video there is a "more" word (on every video on you tube). Click on that and it opens up. One part says "report"..click on that and follow the instructions. Very easy thank goodness.

[@roseannaraw8818]

I learned of that too. I was kinda confused why some of the videos there were uploaded in just a day(same date). And it came to me there's is a bit difference in the name of the channel it was typed as Hope for paws, oh yeah really fake. The real channel, like this one is typed Hope For Paws.

[@amykirk-cline687]

My hubby is a professional FireFighter and he too gets his phone out and films/videos other kinds of hero's on the job, such as ones like you! In Ohio where we live, we are now lawfully allowed to help injured animals! This went into effect in June 2016, and we have been totally stoked....so stoked that I went to our vet and asked them to donate animal oxygen mask (muzzle type) to our Fire Department, and they were elated to do so, and of course they were pumped when I informed them of our new Ohioan Law regarding FF & Paramedics/EMT's legally allowed to help our beloved animals who are injured and need medical attention ASAP! Yay!! BTW I want to order roughly 6-10 of your Lucky Leash's, and wanted to know if I ordered them today....would they be delivered in time for Christmas? Sorry for being off topic here, but I want to order them ASAP, and to send a special gift to you! A bunch of my fellow animal lovers including our FireHouse want to gather some donation money to send along with my order. I've spread the word about you to many, but I talk about you a lot to my FD family! Our Fire Department is hooked on watching all of your rescue videos now, and because of your videos and myself they have become more aware regarding animal abuse, abandonment, etc., and now call me when they suspect anything wrong relating to animals, even when they are out on runs for work! I'd love to hear back from you Eldad....You're my hero too!
