Slow speed chase!

In Riverside, California there was a high speed chase of sorts. Willy the tortoise made a run for the town. He made it a half a mile from his fenced home living in a doghouse in Shelley Larson yard. Willy was corralled by a neighbor and brought to an animal shelter. There was photos posted of Willy on the family's website in hopes of finding their lost family friend. He was home within 6 hours of his break for freedom. This was Willy's 3rd time escaping his home since they bought him. When they first got him, he could easily fit into the palm of your hand, he unexpectedly became so large it's hard them to keep him at home. Given a tortoise's long life span, he will become a family heirloom and they are glad to have him back.
