A three-year-old bulldog called Bella Mae was treated by the Norman Animal Emergency Centre, who put up his photo, which has since gone viral, on their Facebook page.

Vets at the centre removed the spikes, 500 in all, which measured several centimetres, that were embedded in Bella Mae's face and paws after the attack, which took place in a town called Blanchard in Oklahoma.

He was subsequently kept on medication and under close supervision for a week before being home last Thursday.

Porcupines are generally herbivores and eat leaves, herbs, twigs and green plants but their quills or spines can be released upon contact.
