Lucy Made It Home

A definite feel good and shake my head about things I didn't know about a desert tortoise who wandered away from home.

This tortoise answers to it's name and follows people around.

The 7-year-old reptile, who usually suns herself during the day and then knocks on the back door when the sun sets so she can sleep inside the house. Because no one was home, Rockley said that Lucy saw some movers at the house next door and started following them, much like a family dog, perhaps hoping they could help her into the home.

Of course the good part is that Lucy was found and this animal is like a dog.

"She came right to us. She had her head out and her little arms wrapped around me," said Sheila Rockley with a laugh. "It was really cute."

And the dogs were happy as can be to have this animal back in the house. I get a kick outta shit like this and this is the type of pet I could use.
