An injured porcupine’s recovery and reunion with its mate is giving hope in the aftermath of eastern Washington’s Labor Day wildfires.

Mansfield resident Riley Wisdom first noticed the injured rodent while inspecting her property for damage. The porcupine was facing a singed tree and “looked like a beaver,” Wisdom told King 5. Her quills had burned down to the skin.
