Not a cute pic, but I like the story of Hachiko.

In response to ugliest dog:
Most jacked dog.

Yeh it's a hedgehog. No idea what the difference between a hedgehog and a porcupine are, but I know what an echidna is! What do baby echidnas look like though? Don't they have a pouch? Which would mean they're born stupidly small, white and blind. While they may look a little like a tiny naked mole rat at first, I'm sure there's a stage where they're half grown where they're a bit cuter. :p
Porcupines are much larger and wild, I'd say the echidna is much more like a hedgehog than anything. The only relation is the quills to be honest. It's shaped rather fat, in the jiggly way, not the firm beer belly way. One walked through my camp in the woods and was startled by us waking up so it promptly (read: waddled slowly) moved to a tree and climbed it. I'd say they're as big as a small dog (including quills, dunno what's under all that).
