Dog reunited with owners 10 years after running away, Humane Society of Tampa Bay says



The Humane Society of Tampa Bay reported reuniting a 14-year-old dog with its owners a decade after the canine ran away, a happy ending made possible thanks to a microchip.

"When 14-year-old Cockapoo showed up at HSTB as a stray we were hoping for a happy ending and for her to be reunited with her owners but we did not foresee the joy that her story brought! Her microchip led the team to Luisa who was in disbelief when we called, because Cleo (as we learned was her name), had run away TEN YEARS AGO! They never lost hope and continued to update her microchip in the small hope that they would be reunited, even after they moved to Miami! They drove up Saturday to reclaim her and we couldn't be happier for them," the organization noted in a Facebook post. "This shows the power and importance of the microchip and never losing hope."

Someone left a comment on the post, wondering about the possibility that the dog could potentially have found a new home during the 10-year period.

"Although I am happy she was reunited with her og owners, I also wonder if she was with another family for those 10 years? She must miss any other family she has lived with and they must miss her. Then again they never took her to see if she had a chip. So there's a lot of things and emotions at play. But I hope she lives out the rest of her years very happy, healthy and safe!" the person wrote.

But the Humane Society of Tampa Bay noted, "We totally understand that and Luisa did also! She even told us after the original call that if the family who has had her in the last ten years calls to claim her, even though it would make her sad, she would let them take her! But no one else tried to claim sweet Cleo."

Pentagon develops microchip 'sensor' technology to rapidly detect COVID-19 in human blood



A top military doctor revealed Sunday the Pentagon has developed a microchip that, when inserted inside the human body, can detect COVID-19.

What are the details?

Dr. Matt Hepburn, a retired Army colonel and infectious disease physician, told CBS' "60 Minutes" the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a top-secret military unit established during the Cold War, developed "subdermal implant" technology to prevent pandemic diseases from debilitating military resources.

COVID-19, for example, managed to sideline the USS Theodore Roosevelt — one of the U.S. Navy's critical aircraft carriers — for almost two months last spring when nearly 1,300 sailors tested positive for COVID.

The device, according to CBS News, is "not some dreaded government microchip to track your every move, but a tissue-like gel engineered to continuously test your blood."

Hepburn compared the technology to a "check-engine light."

"It's a sensor," he explained. "That tiny green thing in there, you put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow."

The device, then, allows military personnel to discover their infection status before they begin infecting others.

"Sailors would get the signal, then self-administer a blood draw and test themselves on site. We can have that information in three to five minutes," Hepburn said. "As you truncate that time, as you diagnose and treat, what you do is you stop the infection in its tracks."

How many soldiers have the 'sensor'?

Hepburn did not provide additional details about the so-called "sensor" beyond explaining its basic functionality and saying the device is "now in late-stage testing."

It is not clear how many U.S. military personnel are walking around with the device.

And although active-duty soldiers may not have a choice about receiving the microchip if the Pentagon gives it the green light, there would certainly be widespread reluctance to receive the device.

In fact, U.S. soldiers are even hesitant to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Publicly, the military has said that one-third of troops are opting out of receiving the vaccine, although CNN reported, citing military sources, the true percentage could be closer to one-half.
