In the delightful world of pet behavior, some dogs manage to surprise even the most seasoned animal lovers with their quirky and heartwarming antics. Mya, a six-year-old Great Pyrenees with a fluffy white coat and a gentle soul, has recently captured hearts for her unexpected new hobby. Much to the amusement and bewilderment of her owner, Rachel, Mya has begun sneaking turtles into the house as if they were long-lost friends. This isn’t just playful mischief—it’s an ongoing mission of canine compassion and curiosity in its purest form.
That’s right. Mya has developed an adorable new habit of making friends with local turtles and attempting to bring them inside to hang out. Instead of chasing them away like some dogs might, Mya carefully picks them up in her mouth and carries them around as if they were precious treasures. The most astonishing part is just how gentle she is. Not a scratch, not a crack, just pure Great Pyrenees tenderness.
Rachel first noticed the new behavior when she spotted Mya trotting up to the porch, head held high and tail wagging, with a turtle calmly tucked in her mouth. Confused at first, Rachel quickly realized this wasn’t a one-time event. Mya had decided that turtles were her new best friends, and the house was apparently their new clubhouse.

Each time Rachel sees Mya with another shelled visitor, she gently intervenes. She pleads with her dog to let them go and reminds her that the turtles belong in their natural habitat. “Mya, please release the poor turtle,” she says with a sigh, knowing full well that her pup means no harm. It is a daily dance of negotiation between a dog who wants to love everything she meets and a mom trying to maintain some order.
Despite her repeated efforts to explain that turtles are not indoor pets, Rachel can’t help but admire her dog’s compassion. Mya is not just being mischievous, she is showing an incredible amount of empathy and affection toward creatures that many animals would ignore or even chase away.
These charming and slightly hilarious moments have turned Mya into a bit of a local celebrity. Videos and photos of her turtle-toting adventures are melting hearts across social media. People everywhere are falling in love with the story of a dog who just wants to befriend the wildlife around her.
