Our boxer got hit by a skunk about a month after we moved into our new house. This dog is afraid of everything, yet him had no problem going up to check out the "stranger" in the yard. Of course he walked right up to it and tried to sniff his butt!! My wife saw the whole thing and tried to call him back...Got him right between the eyes.
4:30 in the morning and that stupid dog comes flying into the house, gets by my wife and I swoop him up and put him straight into the shower. We didn't have any peroxide and baking soda in the house, so we had to settle for washing him down for an hour or so with dog shampoo.
His nickname was Stinky for the next few months, especially when he went swimming.
