Last porcupine I saw in CO was around 1999 near Deckers. Was stuck in a net/goal on a soccer field. We freed him but not before he gave that net hell. Quills EVERY WHERE.
Hope that dog learned something. But I suspect he will now have a blood feud with porcupines and will fight any he sees in the future. Lots of dogs seem to operate that way after getting their ass kicked by porcupines and skunks.
They own boxers, not the smartest pups in the lot.

Decided to watch him wander around. Cool critter.
I hear ya. Until it becomes a problem enjoy the neighborhood, everyone with pets has been informed. Those with crappy fences, fix it or vet trip.
