A red-eared slider turtle is reported to be doing fine after it spent nearly ten minutes in the belly of a golden retriever. The incident happened last week when Bella the dog, mistakenly or mischievously, gulped down Pepper the turtle from the bathtub it was placed in by 12-year-old Shelby Terihay. The mischief was discovered by Shelby's father, Todd Terihay, when he saw Bella standing inside the bathtub in which Pepper was placed along with its four fellows. At the sight of Todd, the dog hopped out of the tub smacking her lips. A quick count of turtles revealed that Pepper was missing.

I looked at the tube containing the sensor and saw a turtle beneath it. As I watched, a few large bubbles emerged from beneath him and rose to the surface next to the tube. "
