bTV - One Man And His Pet Tortoise
A CHILDLESS man has become a viral sensation after taking his enormous
pet tortoise for a WALK. When Japanese funeral director Mitani Hisao,
62, spotted a five-centimetre baby tortoise in a pet shop in Tokyo, he
knew the animal would become his best friend. But 19 years later the
tortoise, named Bon-chan, has grown dramatically - his shell is now 2
foot 5 inches (75cm) in diameter. The unlikely pair attract attention
wherever they go on their two hour outings around the city dressed in
their homemade outfits.
