Lemme Outa Here!
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

My dog, Tilki, found this turtle taking a snooze in our garden. She was fascinated and started harassing it, nosing it around and barking, to the extent that the police guard at our building called to me to see if everything was OK up there. Finally, the poor turtle decided to make a its version of a "run" for more secure ground (pictured). I had to drag her away after she had turned it on its back. I doubt if it will be taking any more sunbaths any time soon.

Hi John,

Well, the turtle made it to the other side of the yard, sort of clanking all the way. Tilki followed it and turned it on its back, at which point I put a total stop to it, flipped it upright and left (with Tilki in tow). She searched and searched the next day for the turtle but to no avail, luckily, so I assume it found safe refuge somewhere, away from that obnoxious snout!
