A bulldog named Bella Mae is recovering after an encounter with a porcupine that left her resembling a pin cushion. Bella Mae frightened a porcupine that wandered into her back garden and ended up spiked with more than 500 quills in her face and body.

The BBC reports the three-year-old dog was playing around a backyard pond with two other dogs when she approached the porcupine in a dog's usual boisterous manner and frightened it. The porcupine spiked all the three dogs but Bella was worst affected.
