Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a tortoise and a dog moved a football around in the garden as they created an avenue for entertainment for each other.

The dog which seemed to have an upper hand over the tortoise in moving around with the ball much faster came down to the pace of its pal.

Whenever it seemed that it had kicked the ball farther from its footie pal, the dog would come around again and push it to the tortoise to also have a go.
