What do you get when a pitbull picks a fight with a porcupine?

Comments: Apart from the fact that the poor dog pictured above is a bull terrier, not a pit bull (http://www.srch-results.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=77&k=pit%20bull), these pictures are authentic. They were originally posted by the dog's owner on the Citytv Community Board (http://urbanlegends.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://community.citytv.com/cgi%2Dbin/ultimatebb.cgi%3Fubb=get%5Ftopic%3Bf=17%3Bt=012729 ) on May 25, 2005. The terrier's name is Inca.
"Thousands of quills were embedded even in her tongue," her owner wrote. "The vets worked for quite some time to get quills out and even still could not get them all. The one's that are left will work themselves out over time. Inca is home and on antibiotics and pain killers (http://www.srch-results.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=77&k=pain%20killers)."
In a follow-up post dated July 13, Inca's owner reported that "she is just fine and has just the odd broken bit come out once in awhile. Other than that she is back to her old self."
Moral of the story: dogs and porcupines don't mix.
