Just a little heads up, tortoises don’t have the mental ability to feel emotions, and everything in this video is tortoise aggression. “Following” is the tortoise chasing the dog out of his territory, and “cuddling” is called crowding, where the tortoise displays dominance. They are also feeding it an improper diet. Sulcata tortoises eat grasses and weeds, not cucumber, carrots, and broccoli, which is toxic to them. The tortoise also does not have a proper enclosure, and should be living outside full time. You should never, ever, EVER let a tortoise roam your floor, because it is too cold, and so, so many bad things happen. This tortoise is not receiving the proper care, and is likely very stressed by being with the dog. If anyone wants to look into the correct care of tortoises, please read these- How To Raise A Healthy Sulcata Or Leopard, Version 2.0 tortoiseforum.org/index.php?threads/How-To-Raise-A-Healthy-Sulcata-Or-Leopard%2C-Version-2%2E0.79895/ For Those Who Have a Young Sulcata... tortoiseforum.org/index.php?threads/For-Those-Who-Have-a-Young-Sulcata%2E%2E%2E.76744/ Beginner Mistakes tortoiseforum.org/index.php?threads/Beginner-Mistakes.45180/
Sulcatas are known to be very sociable with their owners. They can form relationships with their owner, recognize them and have unique personalities. The Sulcata is a curious and docile tortoise that makes a great pet - even for households with young children.
Dog and tortoise on a walk together. That's something you don't see everyday. Actually, probably never. Only on The Dodo. They should have a proper tv show :-)
😍 PUKA IS JUST SO PRECIOUS!!!! I love her!!!! That tooth is so adorable, plus that woooing!!! She deserves all the snacks. All the loves. She and Larry need all of anything good. So sweet!!!!!!
This is the most loving videos I have seen from Dodo! Puka doesn't care if the tortoise isn't another dog, he still loves him! That is unconditional love! We can learn from them! ❤
Awww...this is awesome for Puka a Pit to bond so well with Larry,the Tortoise!!They have become celebrities tru their love for each other!!Both are adorable and lovely with a great Mom!!Thanks and love to Dodo!!🐶🐢❤
I have two sulcata tortoises and they are amazing sweethearts! This story (like all the dodo stories) is amazing and so sweet and happy! Love this so much!!
This is so sweet! One of my cats always keeps an eye on my younger Sulcata when she's walking the yard! Follows her and checks on her. Animals are amazing. And I love when they yawn! So cute!!!
Who watches a video like this and says to themselves, " Hmm, I dislike this...let me downvote it". I mean really?? Do they possibly lack the ability to feel compassion or empathy or happiness? How can you NOT like a story like this? I dont get it
Real D Are you stupid? If you put a domesticated pet tortoise in the wild, there's a good chance it won't survive because it could get eaten by predators or not be able to recognise what is dangerous. The current owner got the tortoise from someone who couldn't keep it anymore, so has rescued it. Think before you speak.

Awwwww. I love these two!. My Sulcata loves our two cats. He follows them around. I will say, "where's Tortie?" And they will immediately run to him. It is amazing what great and sweet pets these Tortoises are! Love how you have him on your lap! ❤️🐢🐈🐈
I’ve seen this video on Facebook. I am watching again because it is so wonderful. The dog and tortoise are very much loved. They are such an adorable couple. May they live happily with this wonderful lady for as long as possible.
Pitbuls are a very clever an beautiful dog there not what a lot of people say they are. It's how there brought up. There no different than any other breed of dog. Such a beautiful chanal many thanks Gary Smith from England united Kingdom
@@Mr_Tooty No they are not mean unless they have a bad owner! I have met many pitbulls, and none of them were ever mean! They are sweet doggies! Of the few dogs that acted mean, some of them were chihuahuas, or chihuahua mixes!
@@Mr_Tooty That dog is more Boxer than anything else. That's a Boxer face. Unless you have a bloodline going down many centuries. There's actually no such thing as a "pit bull" anymore. All these dogs are mixed. This is actually a Boxer mix. Those nose and snout is a dead giveaway. And that's not without the cleft.
This just proves that animals have feelings and always will for animals,humans, and objects and that they love us and that there’s nothing that can stop animal love🐶🐢
Sweet! I got Kelly, a box turtle, for my son when he was in kindergarten, and he's now 33. Like Larry, Kelly is a tortoise, but much smaller. She was full grown when we got her, so I don't know her age. I have had two large dogs for many years, and they both were fascinated with Kelly, my box turtle. They would follow her around. One of the dogs would occasionally pick Kelly up in her mouth and carry her somewhere and just watch her, sometimes covering Kelly up with a blanket. Both dogs were very gentle with Kelly. Whenever I had visiting dogs, I kept Kelly in her large living container for her safety.
Aww such a cute story...there again people dumping animals at a bus stop and a wonderful woman rescuing them. I am so glad they found their forever homes. It's always wonderful to know there are more good people then the evil ones. Thanks Dodo.!
The urge for friendship...to NOT BE ALONE, is, apparantly universal. I have had similarly peculiar friendships in the human world. We ALL...do what we can...
Ah man this is so cool, they are both so beautiful :D I had a tortoise and he died when he was 2 :(( Sad times, but yes, this couple is one of the sweetest I've seen!
Proof that all living things need companions, that's why it's so sad when ppl only get one pet & that's the reason dogs often act up & tear stuff up when their owners r gone.
When I saw this first thing I thought was “awwww this so cute but so sad because most tortoise live 80-150 years he will live so many years without his best friend 🥺 hope the dog live a long life and make many memories with its tortoise friend 😞

Turtles should be in the wild that's why! Smh

@george - reptiles are no pets, no matter how many times you hug them!
I love this dog it has more personality than most people I know and I love how that tooth sticks out!
This story made me forget how stressed I was. It put a huge smile on my face. It’s the cutest friendship
Larry and puka! Friend goals!! ❤
What a sweet friendship, Puka is lovely and Larry is so cute 🐶🐢
Adorable couple. People take notes if animals can form bonds without judgement why can't we?

Larry is beautiful
What a wonderful trio! The only sobering thing is that he will outlive both his Mommas. But they look like they're having lots of fun now.😁☺
I was just wondering how long they live?
These tortoises can live up to 150 years.
❤️ Larry the turtle, he smiles.
Hes a tortoise
Awwwww. I love these two!. My Sulcata loves our two cats. He follows them around. I will say, "where's Tortie?" And they will immediately run to him. It is amazing what great and sweet pets these Tortoises are! Love how you have him on your lap! ❤️🐢🐈🐈

This makes me sad because of the large disparity between their life expectancies. Larry is gonna be so heartbroken one day :(
What a sweet couple. Absolutely beautiful. I wish humans to be better and share love more
What a beautiful couple and I see Larry smiles
I met a tortoise once and it was just like “._.” and then it stepped in its water bowl and pushed it over 😂
😂😂😂 we have a little turtle named Thelma and she just lays in her water all the time hahaha!!
So heart touching! They will be buddies forever!
Precious critters! So happy they found each other and Mom. 💕
Pits are such vocal pups, really great dogs.
Love this. What a great loving friendship. So special.
I love them! They are lucky - they have the most wonderful "owner". What an adorable story.
