I didn't think a turtle's brain was big enough to learn.

I would love to see this turtle, it is hard to believe just reading the story, but I have found one of the best ways to help a younger child understand things do involve animals

cute story. I would hve never imagined a turtle could be used as pet therapy. I guess anything can be as long as you can fit it to the circumstances.

Now that's the kind of doctor I would look up if I had the need. What a brilliant use of one of God's creatures!

Innovation, imaginative, caring. Nice story. I am not surprised that Dr. Spero and Florida are having some success. Assuredly, the younger children will be interested in or fascinated with the Doctor's assistant, which just happens to be a very unusual turtle in that he performs tricks. Good work.

It's sad that children have to go through the pain of divorce. It's good to know that something as simple as a turtle can help them cope through the difficulty in their lives.

When I was a kid we had turtles and I remember showing my family that I taught him a trick. When I opened my mouth the turtle would open his. My brother got closer to the turtle and the turtle latched on to his nose, and didn't let go. We had to rush him to the hospital with the turtle on his nose. Needless to say he was the talk of the hospital, and our family still talks of it to this day. Oh and about the turtle he got out if his pen outside and ran away. We never seen him again.
