We at National MasoniCHIP began our collaboration with Public Safety Dogs, Inc. (formerly Cainines For Kids, Inc.) upon reading an article that they had completed search testing with Toothprints® dental impression wafers. Their results conclusively demonstrated and substantiated our claim that saliva and cheek cells deposited on the wafer during its generation, did in fact provide a vital scent track identifying item. We since have worked with them to do similar search testing of cheek swab samples generated at MasoniCHIP Events with the same positive results.

Several Masonic groups in Massachusetts raised the funding necessary to train and place a scent discrimination tracking dog named "MASON" in Dracut, Massachusetts in March of 2006. Mason was rescued from hurricane Katrina and trained by Public Safety Dogs, Inc. Since that time Massachusetts Masons have funded placement of two additional dogs scheduled for placement in 2008. The MYCHIP program has identified over 250,000 children of Massachusetts and the majority has received Toothprints®  dental wafers in their completed ID packs.

Natl Masonichip has assisted this group of Massachusetts Masons to raise funding to train a second scent discrimination tracking dog named "CHIP". We have just learned that the Milton Police Department has agreed to accept "CHIP" and he and his new handler will be partnered together in May 2007 and placed in Milton, Massachusetts later this spring.
