World’s Most Patient Pet Owner Walks His Giant Tortoise Through Streets Of Tokyo
Residents in Tokyo have recently reported several sightings of possibly the most patient pet-walker in the world: an elderly man who takes his enormous African spurred tortoise (or sulcata) out for walks around the town.
Judging by the tortoise’s size, the mysterious pair has probably been together for a very long time, and the tortoise always plods faithfully by its owner’s side. It even tolerates the occasional silly costume!

I hope he has someone to take after her when he passes away. She would died of sadness in a Zoo.

There is a family in Folkstone UK that also take their pet giant tortoise out for exercise along the cliff top lawns facing the sea.
I hope he goes in parks as the pavement is a bit hard. Cynthia Allen McLaglen
Turtles are wildlife and belong in the wild, not living in a city. The turtle should be living among his or her own kind, as nature intended
But, as they already bonded, taking the turtle to "the wild" will be a sure kill for the turtle. It's better this way.

The way his shell is growing, with pyramiding and the curling on the scutes, scream that he is not being properly housed / fed / something..
I would love to know the age of the tortoise. I can't help but see two old, wise masters :D. Like Oogway and Shifu from kung fu panda.
