A Turtle and Toy Store

 

Warning! This picture can melt your heart.

This time, we'll tell you a story between a turtle and toy store. It sounds weird, doesn't it?

Our cute friend is Pedro the handicapable turtle, a patient of Louisiana State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Baton Rouge.

Pedro had already lost one of his hind legs. When he ran away from home and returned a few months later, he had no other hind legs. How mischievous he memorised his house for returning back.

When his owners saw him like that, they brought him to LSU and vets directly. "There was nothing medically wrong with him," Ginger Guttner, the communications manager for LSU's School of Veterinary Medicine told CNN. At the same time, the doctors had to figure out something quickly because he didn't have any back legs.

The correct answer was easy but hard to find. The toy store! Magic and vets started to do cooperation.

They picked up a Lego car kit and some syringe parts. After making sure about animal-safe, vets gave him a wheelchair.

And now, he is faster than his friends. As in the race, he could win the rabbit easily like in the tale.

At the end of the toy and vet story, everybody will live happily ever after. Vets saved the day and have a great story to tell, Pedro feels how much they love him and he is the fastest box turtle in the world!
