Thor the dog was discovered by his owner with hundreds of thorns in Sao Paulo, Brazil. According to the image, hundreds of yellow spikes cover the golden brown dog’s muzzle, forehead, nose, ears and paws.

Adriano Bertoline, an unemployed man, started an online treatment campaign when he couldn’t pay his vet bill.

A local councilor, Dr. José Roberto Apolari, stepped in to help, taking Thor to a clinic and covering the costs.

Three-year-old Thor is said to have fought a hedgehog for the second time in a year and was seriously injured.

Bertoline launched an online appeal after discovering Thor stabbed with a porcupine quill and asked for help to cure him.

“Good morning guys…” he posted on Twitter. This morning I woke up to find my dog in this condition… Is there any clinic or vet that can help him? “I’m afraid I can’t pay.”

A councilor, Dr. José Roberto Apolari, noticed the dog owner’s appeal and decided to help.

“Dr. Apoleri was an angel in my dog’s life because I couldn’t afford a private veterinarian,” Adriano said on Facebook. Now I am unemployed and have four children at home.”

According to Adriano, the councilman took the dog to the clinic, covered the costs and then took Thor home.

According to Thor’s owner, this is the second time the dog has encountered a hedgehog within a year.

In February 2021, a friend of Adriano, who was working at a private veterinary clinic at the time, came to care for the injured dog.

The condition of the hedgehog after being attacked by the dog is unknown.
