HARWICH – The owners of a Harwich bed and breakfast had a visitor removed from their property Friday morning — a snapping turtle.
The proprietors of the Bluefish Bed and Breakfast on Parallel Street called for assistance when the hard-shelled guest showed up in their driveway.
Worried that some of their guests could be bitten by the turtle, Harwich Animal Control Officer Jack Burns picked up the slow-moving critter and removed her to a local pond.
According to Burns, the turtle was just looking for a place to lay some eggs.
