The officer then brought the dog to Animal Doctors of South Tampa. TPD said that when the microchip was scanned, it showed the dog named Luca belonged to an owner named Gabrielle, who had lost the dog seven years ago.
Gabrielle kept Luca's microchip account active and paid the yearly fee just in case the dog was found.
