: My 8" russian scares my 55 lb. dog! The dog just keeps her distance. She does like the tort though. One day, the tort was out in the front yard, he got a little too far form my dogs comfort, she whined a little, then picked him up and brought him back. Good dog.

But so was ours. In fact we thought she would never hurt a thing. She basically didn't even show any interest in our torts. But one day something went wrong and the next thing we knew we were extremely upset. They may mean no harm but as our vet said "It happens way too often and totally unexpected by those it happens to. What happens is the dog thinks it's a toy, chewy whatever and before for you know it the damage is done". So please for your sake, the dogs and mainly the tort be careful. My husband and son saw what the dog did and had a difficult time regaining their love for her.
