What do you get when you cross a Pitt Bull and a porcupine?
The dog was sedated, while 1,347 quills were removed, and lived to tell about it.
From Wikipedia – Porcupine:
* Porcupines are rodents with a coat of sharp spines, or quills that defend them from predators.
* The name “porcupine” comes from Middle French porc d’épine “thorny pork”, hence the nickname “quill pig” for the animal.
* Contrary to popular belief, porcupines are not capable of throwing their quills, but they detach very easily and will remain embedded in an attacker.
* Porcupines vary in size considerably: Rothschild’s Porcupine of South America weighs less than a kilogram; the African Porcupine can grow to well over 20 kg.
From Pitt Bull Fact vs Legend:
* Helen Keller even had a Pit Bull as her canine companion and helper.
* Petey, the faithful dog on the TV show, The Little Rascals, was a Pit Bull.
* America’s first war dog was a Pit Bull named Stubby. He earned several medals during World War I and was honored at the White House.
From PitBullLovers.com:
* There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of “locking mechanism” unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.
* It is reported on temperament tests conducted by the American Temperament Test Society that Pit Bulls had a passing rate of 82% or better — compared to only 77% of the general dog population.

Not to seem heartless or anything, but it’s nice to see a Pitt-bull on the receiving end of injuries for a change…. you know the bastard had it coming. I think it’s a testament to the temperment of these dogs that he/she didn’t let the pain of the first several quills stop him from the attack.

dear JCW you dont know @@@@ about pits so shut you freakin trap .

JCW, before making such sweeping comments perhaps you should check with a vet and ask about dog/porcupine contact. While I was working as a vet tech we removed a face and mouth full of quills from the same Labrador Retriever twice.

Dear JCW
I have train more dogs that you will ever own in your life, i have worked with Dobermans, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Boxers, Dalmatians, Presa Canario, Chow Chow, Alaskan Malmutes, Huskies (Which are sayd the to be the to 10 most dangerous dog breeds) i have traind so many dogs and i know for a fact that dogs specialy Pit Buls, or dobermans etc. are not born agresive or evil as some people put it. They may have short tempers but with proper training they are the best dogs that you can have, a dog lives to serve its master an it will do anything to pleas you, any dog can be a dangerous dog but that is because it lacks training or wasnt socialised with people/animals (adults, children, other dogs, and cats of both sexes and all ages ) and some owner are complet idiot and should never under any sircumstances own a dog, the only contact with a dog he should be alowd is by his tv.
so please do some reserch before you do any stupid comment about a dog ok .
animal expert
ps reed a book about dog breeds ok

Not to seem mean, JCW but comments like that are what make people aware how retarded you are and that you have no clue about this breed of dog.

Dogs are bred for many traits:
Guarding
Herding
Pointing and Fetching
Just Pointing
Just Fetching
Killing
Terriers are bred to kill (Pitt bulls).
Even small terriers were bred to kill, they were bred to protect grain stocks by killing rats.
The aggressiveness of the dog breed is directly proportional to the amount of drug use of the owner. (this is not a joke, it was a real scientific study).

sorry JCW, but that IS heartless, good luck growing one.
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Yeah, well, that is heartless.
thats almost like saying
“my child had her hands on the stove, and i think its a testament to how strong she is that she was able to burn them”
do you realize
think about it, if you were getting attacked, im sure you’d fight back.
the law system does not look at someones race to decide whether they are guilty or not, so why should it be the same with any animal type. you have no idea of this animals past, so why does it, or any other dog, deserve to be in pain? its disgusting that you would enjoy that JCWhatever.

Funny Emails? I was schocked when I saw this picture. It´s so disgusting. I´m from Germany and here people who let happen this to their dog will go to prison for a long time. I hope the dog is still alive, with both eyes (I´m not shure, if the spines destoyed the eyes) and an owner who takes more care of.

Those of you who are blaming the owner for this dog’s injuries… I take it you’ve never been outside of the city before! If a dog gets it’s teeth into a porcupine, this happens. There’s nothing you can do about it at the time but get your dog to a vet. Obviously nobody has tried to put spines on a pit bull. The dog got a little too curious and ended up spined. Happens all the time. My Doberman has been to the vets at least twice for this sort of thing, because he doesn’t learn his lesson.
Please do not have a go at the dog owner because you are ignorant.
