Few mornings ago our human was lucky to meet this beautiful creature during the usual walk and stayed with it.
It crossed the path to the opposite side and tried to climb up which is a normal step for humans but a monumental climb for a tortoise.
To help its climb and not to frighten the tortoise from retracting into its shell, our human gently placed two fingers at the bottom of its shell to prevent it from falling down.
Our human stood silently urging and encouraging its efforts; and only left after seeing it moving out of sight into the thick undergrowth.

Such a kind gesture, one so easy to execute and which would not have upset the dear creature in any way. Hopefully it got home safe, too.

Oh, what a charmed moment to have shared with nature!!! YAM xx
Safe travels Mr. T, wherever you may go.
My mom would have picked him up and he indeed would have retreated. My mom learned something by reading the blog today.
How kind of you to help. XO
Such a beautiful golden critter!
We're so glad your human was there to help that beautiful friend.
