Poor pooch! Cocker Spaniel Attacked By 20,000 Angry Bees

A 4-year-old cocker spaniel attacked by an estimated 20,000 angry bees will survive thanks to quick action by firefighters and a beekeeper.

Los Angeles County fire officials said the dog's owner triggered the attack when she disturbed a colony of bees while cutting brush in her back yard.

The owner was able to run inside, but the dog tried to hide under a woodpile and bags of recycled cans.

Fire officials said a beekeeper was able to distract the insects by spraying them with smoke. That enabled firefighters to use a long-handled noose to pull Pinto to safety.

Pinto had dozens of bees stuck in its fur and tail. It was shaking, but was alert. The dog spent the night in an animal hospital, but should be OK.

:bawl: Poor Baby!!! :bawl:

When I was younger we had a cocker spaniel, he was real dumb. His name was Sparky (And a rescue dog too, so we didn't name him that). He took up the habit of chewing on electrical cords, and once chewed the cord of a plug that was still plugged in. :lmao:
