2020 was difficult, but the Marino family had more problems aside from the pandemic. Their beloved Poodle-mix, Byron, went missing right at the start of the year. They unsuccessfully searched for him for almost a year.
After double-checking his microchip information, they were given tragic news. Byron had been adopted by a new family, and his microchip information was no longer associated with the Marinos.
The realization was distressing, but the family was committed to resolve the issue. Because Byron is a member of their family, they wanted him to return to them.
Byron has been a member of the Marino family since 2017. Everyone, especially the daughters, became fairly close to him. They microchipped him to ensure his safety.
When Byron went missing, his family double-checked the information contained in his microchip. They also marked him as missing in every possible area, but he was never discovered.
Before realizing something was wrong, Savannah Marino had been feeling uneasy for over 14 months. She verified the information on the microchip and discovered that it had been registered under the name of another individual.
Savannah initially believed it was an error. The microchip manufacturer informed her that they could not become engaged in such an ownership dispute when she contacted them. They ultimately informed her that the modification was the work of the Houston Poodle Rescue.
The Houston Poodle Rescue reported that Byron was adopted by a new home in February 2020. According to the group, attempts were made to contact the Marino family, but the microchip's number was unavailable.
This matter looks to be fraught with confusion and misunderstanding. The primary concern of the Marino family was recovering custody of Byron. According to them, the rescue organization even offered them a replacement dog, but Byron could never be replaced.
Savannah added that her family had no animosity toward the new family. Since Byron has lived with this family for over a year, he is undoubtedly a family member. Savannah, on the other hand, hoped they return the puppy and do the right thing.
During the chaos, the Marinos filed a lawsuit against the Houston Poodle Rescue, the microchip manufacturer, and Byron's new family. They did not want it to come to this, but they had to do whatever it took to bring their cherished dog back home.
