Good for you!

I actually once made my DH go back and help a turtle after he'd already rescued it. He'd seen it crossing the road (as did I) and he stopped to help it. But instead of putting it on the side of the road the turtle was facing, he put it back where it had come from (because it was closer and there was traffic on the other side). When I found out, I yelled at him and made him go back. Sure enough, little turtle was already closer to the road again than where he had left him. He wanted to get to the other side for some reason and wasn't about to let some stupid human cyclist deter him!

Moral of the story? When helping a turtle cross the road, always help him get to his destination and do NOT put him back where he started!
