THIS little puppy needn't worry about getting lost, after she became the 1,000th dog to be microchipped for free by Selby District Council.
Dog warden Bill Parker hit the milestone when he visited Tallulah at her home in Oak Drive, Thorpe Willoughby.
Mr Parker has been microchipping dogs across the district for the past three years.
He said: "It's a permanent identification. It's a little chip put under the dogs skin between the shoulder blades, that means the dog is permanently identified and registered to an address. It's quite painless for the dog and then it never needs changing."
The chip, which is implanted free, means that lost or stolen dogs can be traced, and any dogs killed or injured can be identified.
