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!

Yeah LOTS of people and sites have said it was a Pit. O_o Then again people mistake all types of dogs as Pits, some of which look nothing like a Pit lol. And one covered in porcupines is even harder to tell

I'll bet they thought, "Oh well the only dog that's vicious enough to do something like that to a 'poor, defenseless' porcupine is a Pit".

porcupines are evil!! LOL j/k. if you really know dog breeds you can tell its a bull terrier because on another side pic you can see the head is shaped like a bull terrier.
