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?
