Why on earth do you think you have to kill it if it bites your dogs? You just pull it off. It isn't going to do any damage.

No, i do not want to kill the turtle or plan to do so . I was just saying that my fear was I would have to do that because I've heard that it's the only way to release my dog from the turtle.

Many have already said that it was only a myth, and I should not be so scared of the little creature. I'm still scared, but only a little bit, not so much as before anymore.
