LebTown features a different Lebanon County pet each Friday to help us enter the weekend with the best vibes possible.

This week, meet Boris!

Boris is a 1-year-old Russian tortoise.

“Boris loves to have adventures in the backyard,” says owner Tania Gutekunst.

“He likes to get into trouble,” she adds. “He enjoys fresh green beans and dandelions. He likes to have spa days. He loves basking in the sun and taking long naps.”

If you see Boris creeping along in the street — or racing a Lebanon hare — be sure to point him to the nearest dandelion patch!
