Millie Bobby Brown has given fans a peek inside her Louis Vuitton bag, but one item has caught everyone’s attention. Among the usual things like her phone, body mist, and glasses, the ‘Stranger Things‘ star revealed she also carries a microchip scanner.
Sure, it sounds like a very unusual thing to keep in a handbag. After all, it is not the kind of item people expect to see in a celebrity’s everyday bag. But Millie has a very sweet reason for it.
Millie Explains The Sweet Reason Behind Keeping A ‘Microchip Scanner’

During her Vogue interview, Millie explained that the scanner plays an important role in something she deeply cares about. The actor shared that she uses it when she comes across stray dogs and cats, as it helps her check whether they already have a microchip.

Talking about it, Millie said, “Kind of random. But I carry a microchip scanner with me, which scans dogs, scans their microchip numbers on their back”. She added, “So, when I find stray dogs, stray cats, I check if they have a microchip. If they do, that’s great because usually that means they have a home.”
The ‘Enola Holmes‘ actor added, “If they don’t have one, then I’m able to take them to the shelter, get them registered, and then take them to my rescue where I can microchip them, vaccinate them, and get them into our facility so that we’re able to find them a home.”
Through ‘Joey’s Friends Rescue’, Millie has saved more than 230 dogs so far. She also stays personally involved in the work whenever she can, from finding strays to making sure they get the care they need.

Fans Loved Seeing This Side Of Millie

After the interview, many fans praised Millie online. They loved how the scanner was not just a random item in her bag but part of the real rescue work she does for animals. On Reddit, one fan said the interview did not fully show how much Millie actually does.
They wrote: “Yeah, but this video is really underselling what she does. Her house is a licensed rescue facility with a full staff. They do medical examinations, vaccinations, and rehome the rescued animals. She herself finds the strays through social media and picks them up personally whenever she is available.”
Another person wrote: “I love this! This is using your wealth correctly. Well done, Millie,” while someone else added: “This is the type of rich person side quest I love to see.” For many fans, this detail gave them a sweeter look at Millie Bobby Brown’s life away from the screen.
