A Two-Headed Turtle Is Stolen in Brooklyn

An animal shelter's mascot — a rare two-headed turtle — was taken Sunday evening from the Hamilton Dog House, an animal shelter and pet supply store on East Third Street in Brooklyn. Sean Casey, owner of the rescue and store, said it must be specially fed by hand — or the two heads will fight over the food. "We just want the turtle back," Casey said Monday. "We're worried about his health." Concerned customers have donated more than $1,000 as a reward for returning the reptile unharmed. Photo: Sean Casey Animal Rescue Source: New York Times
