A lost dog has been reunited with its owner thanks to an AirTag attached to its collar – but the story also serves as a reminder to monitor the battery levels of our tags.
The AirTag was out of power, but thankfully the dog chose to wander into the home of a tech writer who had some spare batteries to hand, ensuring that the owner could quickly locate the errant pet …
Arstechnica’s Kevin Purdy told the story.
I cracked open the door to look out. A dog, not my own, stuck its nose into the door gap, eager to sniff me out. “There’s a dog here?” my wife said, partly to herself. “She just ran up on the porch. I have no idea where she came from.”
I secured my dog inside, then headed out to meet this fast-moving but friendly interloper. She had a collar, but no leash, and looked well-groomed, healthy, and lightly frantic. The collar had a silicone band on it, holding one of Apple’s AirTags underneath. I pulled out the AirTag, tapped it against my phone, and nothing happened.
