Tortoise Shows Up 4 Years After Disappearing

A New Hampshire couple says a 25-pound pet tortoise has reappeared four years after escaping from its pen. Mike and Christine Wellington say their African spur thigh tortoise named Lucy escaped from their greenhouse business in Brentwood. But on Friday, the Wellingtons received a call from a neighbor who lives about a half mile up the road who told them that Lucy had reappeared. The Wellingtons say they’re certain the tortoise is theirs because of the unusual protruding bumps on its back.
