tortoise coming in under fence?

My dog likes to catch tortoise's they are crawling in under my fence. I try to look before I let her out but they can be difficult to spot and I am afraid that she will chew them up. If this happens could this be dangerous for her. Can reptiles carry salmonella, and would that affect her? She caught one once and it was a job getting it away from her.

    Most dogs cannot break through a tortoiseshell. But these creatures do carry salmonella that might give a dog a stomach ache. But dog's guts are more robust than ours and they can handle a mild case of salmonella.

    There are a million memories of tortoises doping up after each week of in intensity, fruitless finding- only without warning being there. There additionally are a million memories of them displaying up a nil.5-mile away. it rather is in all likelihood interior the backyard in a hidden, shady place and it will stay there till it looks like shifting. seek the backyard intently, inch by potential of inch. yet play it secure and publish 'misplaced puppy' flyers to boot- only in case!
