Snowbear:I'll take that bet!
I used to work as a vet tech. There was a pair of dogs who just got madder and madder at the porcupines. Each time they attacked one, they would try harder to kill it. It got pretty expensive for the owners as it took longer and longer for the surgery to get all the quills out from down in their throats and airways:11:
I don't know if the owners eventually wised up and kept the dogs on leashes.

The dog mostly did it to himself.... Porcupines don't "shoot" their quills, though they do "slap" with their tails ... the dog had to be trying to maul the porcupine to get that many in him. Also, porcupines don't move very fast, they kinda waddle with high speed being a fast walk for a human.Aqua Buoy:That's got to be painful... i hear about what procupines do and that they could let things go, but I thought it was like on or two... that is amazing - biologically, not for the dog of course. Looks "calm" just standing there... but be the numbness of the pain!
Fishers do... they attack the face until the porcupine goes into shock, then roll it over and attack the belly. Tough, agile little buggers.Wayward Son:Nothing eats a porcupine
