Last year I got a call from Texas (I live in California) from an animal rescue group. They said that my daughter's dog, Sadie, had gotten out and been found by someone who turned her over to them. I was on her Microchip records as being second to call, the original home land phone had been disconnected. So I called the school my daughter worked at, the school secretary informed her, she got a sub and ran over to get Sadie.
After that, she put her new cell phone and address on the chip records, but did leave me on it as secondary.
That is what might have happened to your poor little sad fellow. Or, like you said, it may have just been in records packed away.
I'm wondering why the city or county doesn't keep these records, seems to me that should a dog bite someone, they can find the owner very fast around here by the tags.

They do keep records but only for a year back and his tag is from 2009. They are small and can't keep too many years is what they told me. But they did make the calls to the vets which was nice of them.

I know I'm a biatch when it comes to pups/dogs. I've had 2 well taken care of stray pups come into my life. The schnauzer was 6 mos old. Like you, if it was my dog, I would have torn this town apart looking for him. I refused to put an ad in the paper although I did watch it. Nothing. I kept him.
Last September, my DH found a 5lb chihuahua behind a 6' chain link fence when he pulled into work. Claws were awful and she wasn't spayed (in fact, pregnant-lost the pup). She seemed to have been carried everywhere. The only step I took with this one was to see if she was chipped-nope. After 2 wks I quit looking at the paper. She's got a good life now.
Bottom line, if you love and loose your dog, you'd better put an ad in the paper if I find her!
