The old skateboard, owned by Pueras’ son, moved a 15-year-old turtle to get a job and was nicknamed Tony Hawk. But it didn’t take long for Eastvale’s Bonnie One to come forward to claim King. She said the turtle was owned by her husband. The husband calls the turtle “his baby”.
The strong winds that struck the area the day before Easter Sunday are believed to have blown the turtle enclosure gates and allowed the King to leave.
Before King was taken home, Animal Services chipped him in case he went out again.
