Old man walks his turtle

Walking the dog is common enough; walking a cabbage – as one performance artist did recently in the US, is a little more unusual. But how about walking a turtle?

A seventy-year-old man, Lu Yaobin, walked his turtle in a park in Taiyuan, Shandong province on Sunday. According to him, he's been doing this for twenty years. The turtle drags along a tiny flat car with some decorations.
