It's an in-joke within the community. These messages are shared on the Internet, and you can only use preset phrases and words (e.g "behold, ___!" here). From day one, people have been calling turtles and other cute critters dogs.

Yep this is it, and I could be wrong but I believe there is no preset phrase for 'turtle' so I guess people decided that was the closest thing.
