......Gotta make sure they're not having wild dog parties while you are at work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
My sister in Boston has a fenced yard and a doggy-door, and she came home from work at noon one day to find her dog was hosting a party. Two other dogs from the neighborhood had come over the fence (apparently) and were enjoying a little luncheon party with her.
The funniest parts (to me) was that both the visiting dogs were old neighborhood friends of my sister's dog, and my sister did not usually come home at noon. Both details made me think that this might have been a regular event.
What brand of system do your freinds have. Ive never seen one that was accurate enough to be doing something like that with. Or one that would put out a signal from under ground. We have a radio tracking system. Acutally I used it today, but I've never had to one to find a dog under the ground.

a friend of mine had a radio locator beacon microchipped into the neck of his cat. the cat ate a poisoned rodent and became very ill and disappeared. my friend found him inside a drainage pipe under a roadway a half a mile from home, very ill. the cat was saved by my friend's timely discovery, which would not have happened if it hadn't had the beacon in it.
of course, i think it is a bit overboard to use this kind of technology on a stray cat (which is what it had been), but then, that's the kind of guy this cat's owner is.....
And brass plates dont have batteries to run out, and it does'nt matter if they get wet. ..........
My brass plates are rivited onto a flat hunting collar and have my phone, my cell phone, the VPI insurance toll free number, and the VPI policy number.
I figure if she did get found and taken to a vet she would be more likely to get treatment quickly if they knew she was insured.
The dog coming back - yes that is exactly what happened to my team member friend.(he has coon hunting experience ... his only concern was the dog getting hit by a car .
I've hunted with the terrier locators for years. The're made in England and go by the name Ferret Finders. They are only good to a depth/distance of 15ft, but are usually quite accurate, to the foot, in locating a dog underground. Now when the dog is 30-40ft from the entrance hole, and 6-7ft down, it can be a very interesting dig. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Before the locator collars, the terriermen would hold an iron bar to the ground, with their ear, much as the old car mechanics would do to find a bad valve in your car. I've seen this demonstrated, and they were pretty darn good at it.
