Central Mississippi Turtle Rescue facilitated viral reunion after pet Myrtle was brought to organization with injuries
A pet tortoise who was displaced from its human family’s home during a deadly outbreak of tornadoes in Mississippi in March was recently reunited with its people.
The reunion – which went viral on corners of the internet dedicated to uplifting news stories – occurred after the Central Mississippi Turtle Rescue organization asked its social media followers on 6 April for help in finding the tortoise’s owners after the animal was brought to the group to be treated for injuries.
