my dog ran away once. eight hours of panic, driving around, checking every street, every shelter, calling her name until my voice gave out. she finally wandered back home at 2am, muddy and happy like nothing happened. i cried for an hour straight.
a few days later, my friend looked at me and said, “why don’t you just get an airtag?” i didn’t even think of it. now she’s got one clipped to her collar, synced to my phone. if she takes off again, i can see exactly where she is in seconds.
it’s weird — i used to dread the idea of losing her again. now i just feel… calm. i still keep an eye on her, but i don’t panic anymore.
they’re super cheap right now, by the way — $65 for a 4-pack, which is like sixteen bucks each. honestly the best $16 i’ve ever spent. Apple AirTags Drop to $65: The Smartest $16 You’ll Spend This Year
