This week the UK made it an offence if a dog isn't micro-chipped with owners facing a fine of up to £400.
The procedure means the owners of an animal can be found more easily if they stray.

Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
