China starts issuing digital dog passports with nose prints

Dog owners in China have a new opportunity – get a digital passport for your pet with

the imprint of his nose. The innovation helps you find an animal if it goes missing and protect your rights if it is stolen.

In order to use the service,you need to install an application from Alibaba on your smartphone, capture the pet's nose with the camera, and subsequently obtain a digital ID. Thus, all data about the dog falls into the general database of the police, which allows officers to recognize the animal if it walks along the street without an owner.
