Hi. We just had the same incident with our Russian Tortoise and our German Shepard Dog. He was so far back in his shell we could hardly see him. We brought him in, put him in our daughters room(his favorite place) and left him alone for quite a while. We went to check on him, noticed he ate his watercress, but had hidden himself so well that we literally had to pull her room apart. He is now ok, but it took him a long time to come out of his shell. Franklin has a vet appt. today, just in case, maybe get a shot of antibiotics. I hope all works out well for you, and I will be keeping a closer eye on the tortoise/dog relationship.
