A wildlife rehab vet once told me that every porcupine she ever treated had multiple long-healed fractures. They fall out of trees, a lot. They are durable critters, except when the fishers show up.

One of these almost killed my dog a few years back. Those quills are dangerous as hell.

Your dog probably almost killed itself on the porcupine 😅

Yup, there’s a reason they are never in a hurry.

They make the most adorable noises too (see the YouTube channel for Teddy Bear the Po’Pine) that trigger a “Must Hug” reaction, but that would be bad…

My dogs love getting pricked. A few times every year. Already had one run in this season. Needless to say, the ER vet loves us $$$$

Don't let Rockland PD see this.

Why is that?

I guess they don't like porcupines.

We’ve got one in our yard too, hangs out with us early spring and late fall. Could probably walk right up to him and pet him on the head if he wasn’t.. a porcupine
