Koohii stories:

1) [bihzad] 1-5-2008(196): I was retreating from the battlefield. In the chaos, my friend threw his dogtags at me to give to his family. I managed to catch them with my fingers as the chopper was lifting off.

2) [RoboTact] 20-8-2007(84): Dog tag: This is a wild animal track device. It has an arrowhead and screwdriver-shaped radio beacon. It's evidently fired in animals to track their movements. When animal has a dog tag, it's easy to catch it: just take a dog tag in your fingers.

3) [chibimizuno] 16-9-2009(52): "Dog tag" appears later as a kanji on its own: offspring (#2097 甫) Offspring are pretty slippery when they come out of the womb; be sure to catch the baby with your fingers so it doesn't slide and fall on the floor!

4) [raulir] 9-4-2007(23): In some countries when they catch a thief, they cut his fingers and put a sturdy RFID dog tag on him. (I made this all up of course).

5) [Joyo1945] 11-6-2009(16): Its easy to catch a dog if it has dog tags because you can just use your fingers to take it by the collar.
