GW: Purrs for a doggie that tangled w/porcupine
There's a distressing-looking photo making the rounds in emails. You might
end up with a copy of it, as I did... you know how it goes, when people forward it to everyone they know, and THEY forward it, and so on. Well, one got forwarded to me yesterday. If you look up on snopes.com, the urban legend site, whether the "pit bull vs. porcupine" photo is real, it says "Yes". I hasten to add that the dog survived and is recovering, but she had literally thousands of quills in her. Some of them, as per the snopes article, are still working their way out. I actually went to snopes.com hoping to find out that the picture had been photoshopped, because I couldn't believe that any creature could have that many quills in its head, face, and front half of her body and still be standing. The poor dog's head literally looks like a pincushion. ( The photo was from May 2005, so I presume that the dog is still in the process of recovering from a whole lot of veterinary care. Poor thing. Please send some purrs that she keeps on recovering. The following article includes the photos I got, which are not for the squeamish: http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/porcupinedog.asp Inca is her name, and may she never pay attention to another porcupine again as long as she lives. Donna, glad that Captain and Stanley will never see a porcupine or know what one is |

But on the second page of the message board to which snopes links, it turns out that the dog is doing well now. Not under vet care. They took out most of the quills right away and that sounds like all the vet care that was needed. I wonder how her eyes fared, but I imagine the owner would have said something if she'd been blinded, so I guess she's okay. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |
