I didn’t know that this sort of thing was news. Used to happen to our dogs fairly often. The trick we learned is to use heavy scissors or something to clip off the ends of and therefore DEFLATE the quills (partially) before pulling them. Clip ‘em, leave ‘em for a bit (20 mins), then get the pliers and do it all as fast as possible.

Bella “took the brunt of the attack” because no doubt she was doing the brunt of the attacking. The porcupine has no interest in “attacking” a predator like a bulldog - it wants to get away.

Bulldog’s have gladiator blood - and a little pain will NOT stop them.

Poor Bella! Hope she is OK - Bulldogs are very loving and lovable little gladiators!
