It may be a ss# or a DL number.. hard to say. Both can be traced. although the SS# would probably be the hardest. I have also known of tatoos being phone numbers, and depending on the situation that could be good or bad. the problem is, you can tatoo a dog with anything here in the states, there is not really a registry for that kind of thing. I'd rule out the AKC, drivers Lic, and Soc Sec numbers first, and then go from there.
