There is a thorny bramble in our backyard that is fruiting. I have no clue
what it is. The fruit is sort of like blackberries, but the leaves look
like no blackberry bush I've ever seen. Anyone know what this is?

Ignore the picture of the puppy.


I can't help you with the plant, but what a cute puppy!
