By Andrew Atkinson
Steve the tortoise that went AWOL for two days has been returned to its owner after being found in Benijofar.
Nicola Goff, who was notified of a post on media outlets that a tortoise had been found, told The Leader: “When I saw the notice I realised it was our tortoise – we lost him for a couple of days on Benimar 3.”
The return of the tortoise was thanks to Carol Reid from Benijofar, who said: “I found the tortoise in Benimar 2.
“It was in the street – making its way towards the road. We looked after it until the owner was found.”
Nicola added: “Steve is safely back home and enjoying his breakfast – thanks to our lovely neighbour for finding him.”
