Can you track down a dog by those chips?

You know those chips that they put in dogs/other animals? Can they track down dogs by those? Is there a way for you to find those chips using GPS? I didn’t lose a dog. I’m just wondering if someone had a dog, would they be able to track it with just those chips if they ran away.

Microchip With GPS?

So some of my friends and I were talking and somehow we got on the subject of GPS microchips.

Now I know there are microchips, all of my animals have them, and I know there are GPS collars for dogs but I was pretty sure they hadn’t put the two together yet.

Now there have been a few cases of horse theft in my area and although my horse is in a good secure area it got me thinking that having a GPS in a microchip would really diminish theft and allow owners and pets a greater chance at being reunited.

So does anyone know if this will be the technology of the future? Is this something that is already in the works or will it be years down the road? Do you think the public would be receptive to this or would people worry that it would come to people next? Any thoughts?

I’m quite uneducated about this subject so I would really appreciate other peoples thoughts and ideas about it.

Thanks

Katie: They do have microchipping for horses and it’s actually pretty common. All of my horses have one and I know of many others that do too so it’s not just for the expensive show horses.

Temporally stop a dog form tracking by smell?

Has anyone got any idea if there is a substance that will temporally stop a dog form tracking by smell? If so how long for? I hear that extract of aniseed might work but this is unconfirmed.
This is not for my dog or any “real” dog for that matter. It’s for a story where the protagonist is on the run, with hounds after him. I was trying to find a plot hook, that’s all, not mess with any real animals.
