The man who gave his pet tortoise the kiss of life

Jeremy Vine

Available for over a year

Retired rural postman John tells Jeremy how he saved 46 year old Frieda from drowning. She had fallen in the pond, and was limp and wet, but John had an idea... Once he'd resuscitated her, a hairdryer on a medium setting helped to nurse her back to full health. Now she's happily munching on a piece of tomato.
