That poor baby did she show you the after pictures, I saw them on line some where..I felt so sorry for the poor thing..

Looks like a bull terrier underneath all of those quills, still shocked by the fact that they are there

definately a bull terrier, poor baby, so painful situation

Yeah, that photo has been online for awhile, now...I can't remember her name, though...there have been a few threads in here about her. She attacked and killed a porcupine that got in her yard. The after pictures are crazy, but, I, too, can't remember where they are on the internet.

I think her name's like Diva or Zena or something like that...hmmm...

EDIT** now that i look more, it is a bull terrier. my science teacher was wrong!

That's right! I knew it was two syllables and ended with an 'a.'

Yeah I heard it was a Pit too but the closer I look the more it looks to be a Bull Terrier instead

That's weird...I must have only looked at the site that was right, because I never heard that someone thought she was a pit. The story's been mixed up in emails and on some sites, but, there's a site that sortof puts rumors or false emails to bed, and, tells the truth behind the stories and pictures and stuff...it's in Pet Talk somewhere, can't remember where though. But, I think that's the only place I really looked at the story.

I hate porcupines. We've had several run ins with them! Muskwa almost lost an eye a couple years ago and needed surgery 3 weeks later on his ankle...a broken quill had migrated under the skin and got trapped in his ankle joint causing all sorts of problems. Kayleigh has serious porcupine issues, although she's been quill free for two years now. She just can't control her prey drive long enough to remember that those things hurt!

My neighbor had one come right through his yard this fall. His dog ended up full of quills when Zorro tried to go into his own doghouse, which the porcupine apparently thought was his!
