Friends… It’s me, Tank.
Dad and I just wanted to say something important tonight.
Every time you view, comment, or share our page, you’re helping us show the world what I’ve known since I was little:
A snapping turtle and a human can be the best of friends.
What Dad and I have is rare — a once-in-a-lifetime bond — and we share it because we want our joy to reach you too. When you smile at our posts, when you leave a kind word, when you tell us how our story brightened your day… we feel that. We really do.
We’re sitting at 73,000 followers, inching closer to 100,000.
Imagine that — a snapping turtle originally from South Dakota, followed by people all over the world. Dad still shakes his head in disbelief. I just blink slowly and accept my destiny.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for letting our friendship become a part of your life.
