Ask yourself how does a dog get that many quills embedded in it's face, mouth, and tongue? By attacking a porcupine over and over and over until the dog kills it. That dog did not accidentally have a run-in with a porcupine and it wasn't curiocity as you describe it. Were you able to type that and keep a straight face at the same time?
That dog saw a porcupine and reverted to it's natural instinct and attacked it, ignoring all the pain. all that dog was concerned with was killing.
Those who so blindly stand up for this breed and pretend it is not inherently more dangerous than other breeds and that it doesn't attack more often and with worse results are not fooling anyone except for their fellow fools.
BTW having a dangerous dog does not make one tough, it makes one less intelligent.

please learn a little more about the actuall breed (English Bull Terrier, NOT American Pit Bull Terrier) in the picture before you make blanket statements.
i have seen many photos of so called friendly breeds in the same prdicament. labs and golder retrievers, sorry i dont have any photos for you, photos like these actually are pretty disturbing to me and without the real story cause missinformed statements about percived situation do everyone a dis-sevice.
but here is a little research for you about the ACTUALL dog breed in the photo
make sure you read the last line of my post here. sounds like a real killer breed?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Terrier
"Bull Terriers are known as friendly and outgoing dogs, even having a "clownish" attitude about them, though they are usually not considered ideal for a first-time dog owner. Their physical strength is matched by their intelligence, and both body and mind need to be kept active. They can be fun and playful. As a breed they are generally placid and will not normally make the first move. They are very affectionate dogs that love human company. Bull Terriers are particularly good with children, and usually have a high pain threshold, which reduces the risk of injury from a defensive bite. Younger dogs, however, may regard children as playmates and because of their strength could cause inadvertent injury. They are protective of children in their charge. Bull Terriers do not make as good a guard dog as people think due to their fondness for people, but will defend his "pack" if needed.
The American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (ATTS), a not-for-profit organization that promotes uniform temperament testing for dog breeds, gives the Bull Terrier a pass rate of 91.5%. The average for all breeds is 81.5%."
