A police dog is recovering after being spiked by more than 200 porcupine quills as he hunted down a suspect.
Please, requesting prayers for Odin

But as he tracked down the subject, he encountered a porcupine in thick brush and was spiked by more than 200 quills over his face and legs, in his mouth and near his eye.
Staff at Hanson Meekins Animal Hospital worked to remove the quills and, while there were fears there might be lasting damage to his eye, Odin was soon recovering well.
Thank you so very much for all the outpouring of love and support for my friend!!! I cannot say how much you all mean to…

“Odin is an amazing partner and I feel honoured to be a part of his team every time his paws hit the ground.”
Even before his porcupine encounter, Odin was something of a celebrity in the area.
Hanging out with the horses on a sunny Easter!❤️ mylifeOdin

The quill incident happened the day after Odin had helped to capture his 80th suspect.
