Man is shot by his own dog

[Dream]

KSL.com reports the man and his dog were traveling in a canoe-like boat when the man stepped out into a shallow marsh to set up some decoys. His left his 12-gauge shotgun resting across the bow of the boat, according to Box Elder County Sheriff's Deputy Kevin Potter.

That's when the dog "did something to make the gun discharge," Potter said. "I don't know if the safety device was on. It's not impossible the dog could have taken it off safety."

Apparently excited to join his owner in the marsh, the dog jumped up on the boat's bow and stepped on the gun. The gun was fired, hitting the man in the buttocks with 27 pellets of birdshot.

The man promptly called 9-1-1, and is now reportedly recovering.

Damn. What a freak accident. Glad to see that no one died.

The headline on the original AP story reads: “Dog steps on gun, shoots Utah hunter in buttocks”.

They just had to mention right up front that the guy got a load of buckshot in the ass.

^ Nah, they mentioned it in the rear.

It seem to me that the man wasn't so much shot by the dog but shot by his own stupidity especially if the safety device wasn't on.

Maybe that doggie Christmas sweater wasn't such a good idea after all...

The day hadn't started well, most likely something like this.

Darwinism.

You think you know a dog, and then he goes and does something like this...

You know what they say, if you want something done correctly, you have to take matters into your own...paws. The dog probably didn't want to wait until the stupid bugger shot himself. Had to speed up the process a bit.

And here we all thought it would be the apes that eventually kill us.

You know what they say: "Man shoots dog, boring. Dog shoots man, that's a story!"

So many lines, so little time...

"Guns don't kill people, gun-wielding dogs kill people"
"Crazy bitch"
"Weak bark and bite. Kick-ass shotgun"
DOG: "This is what happens when you run out of Scooby Snacks"
DOG: "Now you know what that surgery felt like"
"The dog was sent to prison for a year, but it felt like seven"
"If the collar don't fit, you can't convict"

It was the stupidity of an ape that lead the pellets into his butt. So yes, apes would eventually be the end of us.
