This is related to my LOST DOG RETURNS HOME thread in the Off Season forum.

We were camping at a lake in Northern Ontario last week. One of the other cottagers was out picking berries and came across a dog whining in a field. It was all properly tagged and was from Charlevoix Michigan. She waited for a half hour and no one showed up, so she took the dog back to her camp and was going to start looking for the owner.

Suddenly there was a knock on her door. A guy was there and said, “You have my dog?” The guy was bear hunting in the area and the dog was fitted with some sort of beacon. The guy simply followed it to the camp. My questions, seeing how my lost dog was found more by luck, are:

What kind of device are these?
Where can you get them?
How much?
What kind of range are we talking about?
Etc, etc, etc.

I figured you guys in this forum would know.
