Lucky, his front extremities chewed off by what Pyne believes was a raccoon, has been featured far and wide in newspapers and on the Internet since a Rohnert Park veterinarian outfitted his shell with furniture coasters that allow him to scoot around as if he's still a four-legged critter.

More than 66,000 people have viewed a YouTube video showing him with female partner, Lovey, in their Petaluma home.

Good thing it wasn't a front and rear leg on the same side or Lucky would be relegated to traveling a circle for the rest of his life.

at first glance it looks like some kind of Box turtle but closer inspection reveals it to be a "slider"

That turtle is now slow enough that even Roy could act all big and tough around it. He never could handle one that was 100%.
