The Verge writer uses AirTag to track her corgi, calling it 'peace of mind'

The writer said the AirTag would be especially useful for those who take their dogs to off-leash hours at a park or let them roam free in a new environment like a cabin weekend upstate. Even the most well-trained dog can become distracted by something new, run after it, and end up lost, she noted. She recounted a friend's experience months ago, when the friend's dog went missing for a few days before being found unharmed, but the dog had no AirTag on its collar.

For the writer and Jelly, the AirTag also helps when they are apart. When she was away for a weekend and knew the dog sitter had a busy day, she was able to check that Jelly had been taken out for a walk within a certain number of hours without sending a single text message. The report highlights the AirTag's versatility beyond tracking keys and luggage, positioning pet tracking as a practical and reassuring use case.
