The tortoise might have the last laugh, the shell takes ages to dissolve and depending how big the pieces of shell are now in the dog's gut crapping could be a problem. It could end up with an operation at the vets and a large bill for the owners.

Am not questioning your knowledge on digesting a tortoise, but definitely wondering how you know about digesting a tortoise shell?

Well there's no way a digestion system is going to deal with it, and even a stupid dog would realise that's not part of the intended meal.
I'm going with if a dog can swirl around its mouth a tablet hidden in a bowl of food and manage to locate it in order to spit it out then it should be able to do the same with chunks of hard shell from pieces of meat.
However, if there are any bits that have gone down then matey's right, the sharp bits could cause all sorts of problems.
Not sure how the toroise might get to celebrate this though.

I'm guessing that the dog got down low, held the tortoise steady with a paw and then sucked the body out of the shell from the head end walnut whip style.

I wonder what tortoise tastes like. I feel like they'd be sinewy.
Probably pretty good
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
