X (former Twitter) user @dammitdemi from Kingston, Jamaica, recently shared an interesting thread about how she found out that her adorable pupper named Han Solo was regularly hanging out with a pack of local dogs without her even knowing it.

Han Solo frequently goes out by himself and explores the neighborhood, but he always comes back home on time. However, the other day, the dog didn’t return in time, prompting @dammitdemi to embark on a search for him, which she documented on social media.

Thanks to a tracker on his collar, @dammitdemi knew that Han Solo was at the local golf club, one of the places he enjoys visiting, so she went out to get him.

“Too many hours had passed and my mother had begun to worry… So naturally, I put on some walking gear, grabbed the leash and his favourite ball as I took to the golf course! “wrote @dammitdemi in one of the posts.

After arriving to the golf club, @dammitdemi discovered that Han Solo wasn’t there. As it turned out, the tracking app hasn’t been updated in a while. She started searching for the dog and even contacted his veterinarian for advice.

But suddenly, she heard some barking nearby and decided to check it out. At the same time, the app notified her that Han Solo “has been found.” What she so next caught her by surprise.

It turned out that Han Solo was so caught up playing with other dogs that he lost track of time.

@dammitdemi ended up putting Han Solo on a leash, but he still allowed him to play with his friends for a bit longer before taking him home.

She promised that he would get to see them again, but this time under supervision.

Seashell is a tortoise that has a loving family in San Antonio, Texas, that takes much joy in taking care of her. But this isn’t stopping Seashell from running away from home occasionally to embark on wild adventures. And no, the fact that she is slow doesn’t make her easy to catch.

Over the years, Seashell had her fair share of runaways, including the one in 2021 when she decided to break through the wooden backyard gate and explore what the outside world has in store for her. She ended up being spotted by the officers from Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, who managed to reunite her with her owners. And then the same thing happened just a few weeks ago. 

Bexar County Sheriff’s Office shared on their Facebook page that Seashell’s adventurous spirit got the best of her again. She went missing for a few days, giving her family a world of worry before one of the deputies spotted her on the street. He notified his supervisor, who immediately knew who the wanderer was; it was the same tortoise that he had returned to San Antonio native Mayda Garcia and her family two years ago.

Acting on the supervisor’s directive, deputy Joe Garza “arrested” the 60-pound tortoise, placed her in the back of his vehicle, and then took her home. After successfully completing the task, Garza was “presented with an award by his sergeant and lieutenant for catching the tortoise involved in the slowest foot pursuit Bexar County has ever seen!”

“This isn’t our first run-in with Seashell, and with Seashell’s track record, we assume it probably won’t be the last!” Bexar County Sheriff’s Office added in the Facebook post.
