To inject a little reality: Sashapooch has got an embedded RFID (not
yet RDFID!) tag, not sure but I think it became Italian law.
Basilhound being a bit older, before this stuff came in, has a
(sloppy) tattoo on his tummy, something like LOLU51. I assume the chip
in Sasha has a similar string in it.

But the idea is great - in the same way QR codes are most useful when
they include a URL, putting one in the RFID tag of animals makes a lot
of sense. Simple use case: when the critter wanders off, you can
easily contact the "owner".

I know the RFID chips are now really cheap commodities, what I don't
know about is the scanners - are they yet affordable enough that you
could say include one in a mobile phone?

Cheers,
Danny.
