But someone recently discovered a dirty, thin stray(流浪的;走失的)cat in the street and took him into West Flamingo Animal Hospital. The people working in the hospital checked the cat and were sure enough that his name was Spas and he belonged to Linda Edwards!
"An old lady found the cat on Sunday and brought him here. We scanned(扫描)his microchip(微芯片)and we were able to find out his owner. The cat, whose name is Spas, has been missing for 12 years! " said a doctor.
It is a way to recognize pets by scanning their microchips if the stray animals belong to anyone who could be missing them. It also allows animal services to know if the animals have a family waiting for them. Linda was very thankful that she had Spas taken the microchip and was so excited to get him back!
"I have a second chance to play with my cat，" she said. "This would never have happened if there were no microchips. "
1.Who took the cat to the animal hospital?
2.How did the animal hospital know the owner?
