An old friend of mine had a beautiful brindle Great Dane that got into a porcupine like this and had to be put to sleep. The quills got into the dogs eyes blinding it.
I found this joke and this seemed to be the right thread for it. Dr. Cutter is the local Veterinarian, known for his wry humor. He surpassed himself one summer day when a city dog was brought to him after an encounter with a porcupine. After almost an hour of prying, pulling, cutting and stitching, he returned the dog to its owner, who asked what she owed. "Fifteen dollars, Ma'am," he answered. "Why that's simply outrageous!" she stormed. "That's what's wrong with you Maine people, you're always trying to over charge summer visitors. Whatever do you do in the winter, when we're not being gypped here?" "Raise porcupines, Ma'am."
OUCH! Poor pooch! My dog ran up to a skunk one evening while she was outside, sniffed the butt and then went on to do her own thing-NEVER got sprayed, I couldn't believe it!
We've got a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and I would die if something like that happened to him..... he would run away anyway.
