		The dog was immediately scanned for a microchip under Toronto Animal Control services unique microchip recovery program that ensures all stray animals are scanned for a microchip at first contact and if a microchip is present and the owner identified, the animal is driven home without ever entering the shelter facility.
		Through the use of a single, common microchip technology, compatibility between the various microchips and readers is ensured, regardless of manufacturer and where one lives in the world, replacing the historical multiple different forms of the technology many of which were incompatible (see related microchip story under News From Around the World).
		To better evaluate the current status of microchip identification globally with specific interest on the adoption and implementation of the ISO microchip standards, the WSAVA microchip committe surveyed WSAVA member associations and provided a report on their findings.
