Owner takes turtles on leashes for a walk in New York

Feb. 13 (UPI) -- An unusual pet owner was spotted recently taking an "only in New York" walk with his beloved pets -- a pair of turtles on leashes.

A video posted to Twitter by CeFaan Kim shows the Harlem resident out for a stroll with his two turtles, who are walking down the sidewalk on leashes.

"This guy... in East Harlem walking his turtles. #OnlyInNewYork" Kim tweeted.

A Craigslist ad went viral last year for seeking to fill a pet owner's need for someone to walk their pet tortoise through Central Park in a stroller.
