The first dog in this video honestly doesn't seem THAT bad.

A few porcupine quills in the face?

Unfortunate. Concerning. Mildly upsetting.

Then the camera pans to the second dog, and suddenly, the entire internet collectively experiences psychological damage.

Shared by TikTok user @marquisegoodwin_, the chaotic clip shows two dogs after an extremely poor decision involving a porcupine.

The first dog, an American Bully-type pup, appears with a handful of quills stuck around his face.

And then comes his Black Labrador mix brother.

Honestly? He looks less like a dog and more like somebody accidentally summoned a Marvel villain directly from the woods.

The poor guy is COVERED in quills.

At Different Moments in the Clip:

• The first dog appears mildly unfortunate.

• Everyone thinks, "OK, this is bad."

• The camera pans to the second pup.

• Immediate emotional collapse occurs.

• The Labrador mix somehow resembles both Pinhead from Hellraiser and Venom simultaneously.

People in the Comments Were Absolutely Horrified:

• "This breaks my heart, OMG."

• "This absolutely terrifies me."

• "This makes me feel very uncomfortable."

• "I was a little worried, and then I saw the second dog, and OMG."

• "Deada*s thought the second dog WAS the porcupine."

Honestly, that last comment is brutally accurate because there are SO many quills sticking out of this poor pup that your brain temporarily stops processing what you're looking at.

One former vet tech admitted:

"Porcupine quills were SO satisfying to remove, lol."

Which honestly feels like information only veterinary professionals are emotionally prepared to say out loud.

Another commenter pointed out something that feels universally true:

"I've never really seen a porcupine, but somehow dogs always find them."

And honestly? Dogs really do act as if every dangerous woodland creature was personally placed on earth for investigative purposes.

Why Do Dogs Keep Getting Quilled by Porcupines?

Dogs are naturally curious animals and often approach porcupines too closely while sniffing, chasing, or investigating them.

Porcupines cannot "shoot" quills, but the quills detach easily when touched.

Veterinarians Warn That Quills Can:

• Embed deeply into the skin

• Cause infections

• Move farther into tissue over time

• Become dangerous near the eyes or the mouth

Dogs with quill injuries should be treated quickly by a veterinarian to safely remove the quills and to prevent complications.

And thankfully, despite looking like a tiny woodland horror movie character, the second dog in this video did ultimately receive help.
