There is no mention of the dog having been microchipped - and, of course, keeping the contact details up to date on the computer records. This sad story only underlines just how important this is.
Almost all shelters, AFAIK, even in the USA, check for a microchip and/or other tags or markings, as soon as a lost animal is found. Better safe than sorry.
In France and the UK, a microchip for a domestic animal is compulsory. In the USA, there isn't even one state AFAIK which has mandated microchips for domestic animals.
