Lost pets, microchips, holidays and moving house, sentence 0
A lost pet cannot tell anyone where it lives, so people have given pets ways to "speak" for them: a tag you can read with your eyes and a tiny chip you can read with a scanner.
Who acts: lost pet, pet, people, you · What happens: lose, not tell, live, give, speak, read · To what, where: anyone, pets ways, tag, tiny chip · Speech: someone speaks here
