" NAKED PORCUPINE "

 

More like a dead naked porcupine. Again that dog is a bull terrier. It's not a pitbull. I'm staying out of the pitbull argument. I have 3 awesome pitbulls and have had probably a dozen of them over my lifetime. My oldest right now is 17 and although she has a thyroid problem she still runs around like a spring chicken. You guys know my opinion. God didn't make a better dog.

 

Thank you.

Everyone else take note, this thread is not about pitbulls.
It is about a relatively dumb dog that didn't learn anything after the first quill got stuck in his face, and kept on trying.

Aren't quills kinda like feathers?
Some are loose enough to not cause harm to the porcupine when they come out,
but having all of them come out in a short time frame can't be healthy.

Glad to see there are so many people educated about Pitbulls here. That's a refreshing change from most places.

You can call the dog stupid for going back for more and never giving up, but there is no other animal or human in the world that I would pick to watch over my family. I bet nobody here has any doubts as to exactly how far that dog would go to protect it's owner.

 

I feel bad for the dog, I bet it was in some nasty pain . I wonder how it managed to not get one or both eyes poked out???

 

I don't know a lot about dogs but I grew up with a lab and I never recall her attacking anything. Strange that you bring a hard plastic wedge whenever your dog is out of the house. Glad you haven't had to use it but it makes me uneasy.

 

Actually it leaves the porcupine vulnerable to attacks in the future, as it takes a few months to grow back.

Mine pounced on one when he was about 2 yrs old...He had them from his mouth, inside thighs and thru his sheath and into his you know what. I had to carry him 3 miles out to the road a friend that was with me drove us to the vet while I held him. Had to sedate him to get them out, now he stays back and barks at them. There are two types, those that learn and those that never do.

 

I live on a farm and my outside security dog is a Lab, german shepard mix. he is a very smart dog but he got into a porcuppine all but good about 2 years ago. $500 later and he was good to go. Not 2 months later he got it AGAIN !!!

while i like Pitbulls why is it that you always see news stories about them attacking people an children unprovoked? You never see where a killer poodle put the mailman in the hospital... lol

 

Ignorant comments like that are exactly why pit bulls are no longer allowed in the City of Miami and are being banned in many other cities.





The above qoute, is actually an ignorant comment and could not be any further from the truth. Comments are not the reason the pit bull or various breeds of the bull line are being outlawed in many cities throught out this country.

1, Because of this line of dogs tenacity, strength, size, it makes them ideal for "less than desireable" individuals to agrressively train them as guard and attack dogs.

2, They are used to protect all kinds of illegal activities.

3, They are bred for illegal fighting.

4, Their reputation is more than earned with the amount of unprovoked attacks they are responible for.

Here come some examples;

1, I am a medic on my cities pd swat team, guess what the number one injury is to the entry teams? yup you guessed it, I have had to treat more dog bite injuries than gsw's to team members and it is such a problem that all sop's and concurrent training had to be revamped to deal with it.

2, Summer 05, 77 year old attacked by pit bull while in one of the city parks walking her leashed shytzu (spelling?) We get dispached and find her actively under aggresive attack by a pit bull that witness's stated came out of nowhere, tore appart her dog and as she was trying to pull the leash back to protect her dog, the pitbull then turned on her, it took almost an entire clip from a Glock 21 to stop the pitbull's attack.

3, While stretching hot lines into a third floor apartment fire, I had to force a couple doors so the pump companies could get in there and do there job, the second door I forced open guess what was waiting silently on the other side?
Yes sir, a pitbull that came out of the apartment in a state of absolute insanity, it went after the FF on the nozzle, I attempted to bury my TNT tool in its back to protect my coworkers, well that resulted with the dog turning on me and biting off the top part of my right thumb , my capt. wound up hitting it on its side with the ads end of his haligan tool then the dog hauled arss. I don't think it was the blow from the tool that forced that dog to run as much as it was the heat and fire now blowing out into the hallway.

These are just a couple of reasons that these breeds of dogs are being outlawed across this country, the simple fact that anyone would have to carry a wedge and pry tool is proof enough of this breeds unpredictabilty.
