is that your dog, Mike?

No,

It was E-mailed to me from a hunting buddy that uses dogs on Hog hunts.

I have little dogs (chihuahua and Italian greyhound), and they routinely get their butts kicked by our cat. :shakehead

Pride has left the building... :11:

Cheers

The dog was fine, the porcupine was naked and cold.:11:

I bet that dog won't get within a 100' of another porcupine

I'm afraid you bet wrong. The vast majority of quilled dogs I see in my practice (usually at about 2:00 in the morning) are repeat offenders. ESPECIALLY pit bulls, who just don't know when to let go. It's seems to be a grudge match sort of a deal.

Sigh. Anesthetize the poor bugger, put on a pot of coffee, some tunes, and start plucking.

I'm no vet, but I'm thinking if you administered just a little less anaesthetic, the dog might have a more vivid, longer-term memory of his ordeal! :biggrinba

with all due respect.....that was NOT an "attack"...........whales do not "attack"...what you survived was a defensive reaction on the part of the animal.the animal(the whale)could not understand your intentions so it reacted like any human mother would.i dont mean to sound punitive but it is unfair to the animal when we say it "attacked" when in fact it was just protecting itself or it's young.this why,for example,the great white shark has such a bad reputation-thanks.

Whale? What whale? What about the dog?

Yeah, tell me about it! That mother whale sure did a number on the poor pooch--I've never seen one throw so many baleen spines before. I for one am never going forest snorkeling again
