Striped Skunk (Mephitis mephitis) by cliff1066 on FlickrYour dog barks frantically, or maybe zooms off in another direction. Then you smell it. Skunk! I think that this has happened to each dog I have lived with at some point in their life. Some escape with just a spritz, other dogs come back dripping in skunk juice. Not good.

Learn about skunks - why and how they spray, and what to do if your dog (or you!) get skunked.
