One Pasadena family who lost their home is celebrating the survival and recovery of their pet tortoise, Rocky.

When the family returned home to see what, if anything, survived the Eaton Fire, they were thrilled to discover their 100-pound pet had made it through, as shown in a video shared by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

“Rocky had been hibernating in her burrow and miraculously survived the blaze!,” Amanda Williams, whose uncle is Rocky’s owner, wrote on Facebook.

Family members can be heard on the video celebrating Rocky’s return, and both in person and virtually, Rocky’s family thanked the deputies involved.

“Thank you Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department!,” Williams wrote. “These amazing officers gave my family some much needed joy after the loss and heartbreak of the last few days. We appreciate you!”
