A Pitbull decided he would battle a Porcupine in back of his house in Southern California .

But being both brave and stupid, he ultimately learned the hard way that he can't always win,
No matter how tough you are...

A vet sedated the dog, and then removed a total of 1,347 quills.

The dog survived, and hopefully learned a valuable lesson.......

Don't mess with Porcupines !!!
