Please remember that you can only post a link to a picture, not a picture itself ( the owner of the site only allows a small amount of members photo's of themselves and their dogs in the "Members Bio" area ).
It's a bull terrier, not a pit bull, and the pic has been circulating the net for about a week now. I think it's actually already been posted here.
Yep thats a BT. Ive seen it posted a bunch of times on other forums.
sure is nasty though...talk about irresponsible owners, who lets there dog run free long enough to be attacked by a porcupine?!? I mean their could be variables but still..OUCH <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I know this is not what you meant, but I had to interject -- my daughter's Border Terriers (earth dogs), while roaming with her on her own acreage, off lead, found a porcupine den (or whatever porcupines call their abode) in a fallen tree and one of the BTs went in after the porcupine. He came out, enraged and with a face full of quills, and was so mad and so adrenaline-hyped that it was all two handlers could do to keep this 17-pound dog from diving back in the hole.
The porcupine defended (as opposed to attacked); the dog was not roaming free or alone. And the dog was doing what his breed does, I suppose! Yes, there are variables............
And OUCH is right! A few hours of anesthetized surgery was the result.

Maybe you're kidding a little, but my granddogs have actually had a bear in their back yard. They live in the Berkshires (western Massachusetts). And I do indeed have raccoons and possums around my house often........in a small city, too -- not even a suburb!

Attacked by a porcupine? Not likely. And I'm sure that porcupine didn't fair so well either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Exactly - "critters" do wander into yards all over the United States.
I had a friend in Florida who lived on a canal, she had a fully fenced in yard with chain-link. An alligator climbed over the fence and ate about half of her Shelties. Needless to say she was devastated by this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
