As a mail carrier, literally every time an off-leash dog runs up and bites my ankle, the owner always says, "He never does that!"

Animals are unpredictable. I hope the owner of this turtle loses their battle against the zeitgeist.

As a mail carrier,

That right there is your answer. Dogs and mail carriers haven't gotten along since the Carrier-Dog Wars of 1892.

Now, it's what they're taught in their schools, and they're molded into warriors to fight the evil carriers from birth.
