Caitlin Doran, Tiptoe's owner, illustrated their bond as she recounted how the tortoise made his way through local festivals and homes, impacting the community deeply. "People will grow vegetables for him. They grow flowers for him. When their grandkids are in town, they'll come over and check Tiptoe out," Doran expressed, highlighting how Tiptoe has become a beloved local figure, transcending his role as just a pet.
Despite the chaos of the wildfire, Doran shared how Tiptoe has adapted well to the new situation. "He's dealing with it super well. Like I said, we're in the front yard right now. He's splayed out ... soaking up the vitamin D," she said, emphasizing the tortoise's resilience amid the ongoing wildfire crisis.
