Man's best friend? The turtle as a pet myth
A humorous feature extols the dime store turtle as an ideal pet. It contrasts turtle traits with dogs, notes zero rabies bites in 1964 besides a Wyoming incident, and praises its quiet, agreeable nature, low upkeep, and wide availability. The piece wittily imagines turtle life and behavior in everyday settings.
