pee-wee

Mr Frost said the tortoise initially had "blood all over it" and described finding Pee-wee as "quite scary".

Mr and Mrs Frost told the BBC they are going to wait to see if the owner comes forward and, if not, they will be welcoming Pee-wee the tortoise into their own family.

Mr Frost took the tortoise to Kirk Vets in Sleaford, where he was affectionally named Pee-wee by staff after the 1980s film character, Pee-Wee Herman.

Sara Marchant, 55, practice manager at Kirks Vets in Sleaford, said the Pee-wee is a "very, very lucky tortoise".

Apart from some damage to his shell, Mrs Marchant said Pee-wee "appears to be fit, well and healthy".
