On our Easter Egg hunt in our back yard this year, my wife's frou-frou dog Charlie (Cavachon, = King Charles Spaniel x Bichon Frieze) plunged into the woods followed by our 3 grandkids and "pointed" a beautiful mature Eastern Box turtle. First one we have seen in c. 3 years; like many wildlife they used to be everywhere in our surrounding 3 woodlots; now a real event! Downside is their dwindling numbers; upside is we haven't seen one squished on the road in c. 10-12 years. Hope springs eternal!
