Dog Rescued After Apparent Run-In With Porcupine

(KDKA) A local animal hospital is helping nurse an injured dog back to health after it had an unfortunate run-in with a porcupine.

The Allegheny County Dog Warden said he got a call earlier this week concerning the dog, who is named Blossom.

Officials say Blossom had been spotted lying in a ditch looking frail and malnourished.

Authorities say when they were able to track down the dog, she had porcupine quills covering her face and right shoulder, which forced her to walk only on three legs.

Blossom is now getting treatment and is being cared for by the West Deer Dog Shelter.
