The Essence of Companionship is Responsibility

Sharing your life with a pet brings immense joy, but it also comes with a profound weight: responsibility.
Unfortunately, we still see too many instances where this responsibility is treated lightly. Recently, there was a heartbreaking case where a guardian attempted to forcibly remove a registered microchip from their dog to abandon it. This wasn’t just about removing a piece of technology — it was a severing of the bond and a rejection of the commitment they had made to care for their pet.

This isn’t just an isolated incident. Around the world, as the number of abandoned animals continues to rise, so does the social burden—from rescue and care to long-term management. At its heart, the issue comes down to one thing: responsibility.
No matter how well-crafted our laws and systems are, their effectiveness depends entirely on human responsibility.

The Animal Registration System of South Korea

To address this issue, Korea operates a mandatory Animal Registration System.
Guardians of dogs over two months oldmust register them with their local government.
Once registered, each dog receives a unique 15-digit identification number, and failure to comply results in a fine.
The goal is to prevent abandonment and strengthen owners’ sense of responsibility.

However, current methods such as internal microchips or external tags still have limitations. Physical chips can be damaged, tampered with, or removed altogether. It’s clear that we need to move beyond simple registration. Technology must evolve to consistently verify ownership and ensure pets are safely protected.

Nose Print Reconigtion Technology for Beloved Pet

Just like human fingerprints, every dog’s nose print is completely unique and remains unchanged throughout its life.

UNION biometrics saw the potential of this “unchanging individuality.”
By registering a dog’s nose print through PetID, the encrypted data is securely stored on the UNION biometrics server, ensuring that it cannot be altered or deleted by the owner. In essence, a pet’s nose print becomes a digital proof of responsibility, safeguarding its identity and well-being.
