The first thing I thought of when I saw that was it reminded me of Homeward Bound. 
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

Unless it was beat about the head by someone holding a porcupine in a pair of tongs that quill density could never be achived. It looks as though someone blackened the bases of toothpicks then affixed them to the poor dog. The "blood" is probably food dye or something similar. Then again there is some puffieness, so It could be real and that's just the least lucky dog ever. Plus some look like they'd have to be inserted and not just taped or glued so maybe it is real. I'm now torn.
I thought that too.Pick wrote:The first thing I thought of when I saw that was it reminded me of Homeward Bound.

They seem rather small to me. I know only african Porcupines from RL though.DrkHelmet wrote:It looks fake. Porcupine quills aren't that big, and I'm not sure what else it could be. Kinda looks like toothpicks.

Funnily enough, the dog may well be extremely satisfied with himself for chewing up a porcupine, despite getting pincushioned.

Yipes! I stand corrected. You have my apologies guys.KhyronTheBackstabber wrote:It be real...yarg.
Dogs of that type are not the sort to give up after being hurt. It enrages them to fight more. At least some of them are like that. This dog just wouldn't let up and kept getting more and more quills.

Un-frickin'-believeable ... that the dog isn't in a frenzy of pain and can stand still to have its picture taken is impressive. I can't even imagine any dog I've owned not going crazy from quills stuck in its EARS.

I'm undecided. If you do a google search for "porcupine quills" and "dog" you find a few pictures that show some real incidences. But what makes me skeptical of this photo are the quills on the sides of the head, the front legs, and the back of the dog plus the face that he appears to be on a leash walking around (If I had an injured animal I wouldn't put him on a leash and make him walk to the car, but thats just me I guess)

Check the Snopes article and then look at the link they provide. It showed more pictures of quilled dogs and they all pretty much look the same.
