Coda and I ran into a turtle while we were out walking this morning. She was so intrigued by it. The turtle was less curious and had the good sense to tuck into her shell. I had to drag the dog away from the turtle. We passed the same spot on the way home, and the turtle was gone. I let Coda have her lead, and she sniffed her way into the tall grass, following the scent of the turtle. Sure, enough, I pulled the grass back, and there was our turtle friend! I was so impressed. Now, I'm thinking Coda might be part bloodhound!
I think it takes a pretty smart dog to figure out that that smell would yield her turtle buddy.
