A 53-year-old California man was injured this weekend when his dog accidentally shot him with a shotgun. The man, who was hunting with a partner near Los Banos, Calif., set down his shotgun with the safety on so he could retrieve decoy ducks.
His dog, a female black Labrador retriever, stepped on the gun, disengaging the safety and pulling the trigger. The gun fired a shell with No. 2 shot, and the man was hit in the upper left side of his back. He was treated and released from the hospital that same day.
werid
that dog needs a permit
I feel bad for that man.
that is sad but really ironic
is he ok
FIght, Fight, Fight!!!!!!!!! Just kidding but I feel sorry for the dog if the masters angry.
interesting….i hope my dog doesn’t try to shoot me!! lol!
How in the world did the dog disengage the safety (and then pull the trigger)?
Yikes! Poor guy!
strange indeed
I fell bad for that man he must have been brave enough to take that round
Sadly the dog belongs in a pound
why
WOW! i hope he is ok.
i am sad for that man. That dog shoud go to the pound.
HEY hunters fault.
why’d he put down ‘is gun?
Why would he put the gun down
Thankfully it was just no.2 shot, about the half size of a BB.
He will be OK. 🙂
And he must have been using a Remington 870, it’s the only shotgun that has a trigger guard safety that could be set off by the dog.
is he pressing charges
Ha Ha
Is this true. If it is true, is the man ok and how long has he owned the dog?
LOL!!!
People need to get a restraint on dogs when they’re around guns now XD lol
Ok, first of all, the man should have put the gun with his partner or against a tree. Second, I know this is a freak one-in-a-million chance, but safeties should probably be harder to disengage.
Well, I would not blame the dog since it was probably an accident.
how dose a dog disable the safe and pull the trigger on acsedent
i completely disagree with all of the people who say that the dog belongs in a pound. it was an accident.
why would you keep your loaded?
second,how is the dog smart enougf
Next time take it with you.
whoa……………
guys for one thing it was a freak accident, secondly it says he put his gun down to retrieve the decoys, and most hunters keep their gun loaded and ready while hunting, and he was shot but it was not serious. that’s amazing though.
this is pretty weird and funny. I mean think about it front page ” dog goes to jail for shooting man with shotgun.” Akward!
So much for man’s best friend!!!
Oops, I ment mans best friend see I can’t even think strate I did it again
The dog should be put in a pound.
he should be put in the pound because he accisently stepped on it i dont think so its not the dogs fault
lol I would expect that! But…. No offense to the guy but its kinda funny! 😀
I sm with you man that dog has the rights to stay out of the pound as any other dog.
don’t put your gun on the floor!
Meh…He probably deserved it. 😀
WHY IS EVRYONE SAYING HE DESERVED IT!!!!!HE PUT DOWN HIS GUN CUZ HE DIDNT WANT IT TO GET WET!!!HE WAS RETRIEVING DECOYS THAT WERE PROBABLY IN THE WATER!!!!!!!
NOBOYDY “deserveds” TO GET SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dogs are very weird sometimes. i hope the dog doesnt get put down and the guy is ok
flat out STRANGE.I mean really a DOG?
nobody (even a dog) deserves any punishment of any kind for an accident
though i dont know how a dog could do that
you keep it loaded so if you see a duck you can shoot it!
It was an accident.Poor man.
That is a VERY strange accident!!!!!!
Well first of all you should never put your gun on the ground.
Second of all why would you have your dog with you…
The dog was a Labrador retriever. They are hunting dogs. You shoot the duck when it is in the air, frequently it lands in the water, marsh, or somewhere other than at your feet. Dog retrieves duck. Retrievers; they’re not just for sticks anymore.
Amazing and no offense but funny 😀 B-)
I don’t wont that dog.
I thought It was a joke when i saw it
in 1st grade i learned to never put your gun on the ground pointing at your self
ISNT IT SUPPOSED TO BE MAN SHOOTS DOG????
That is pretty funny Go Dawg!
Nothing happened to the dog. Right?
He served him right, you’re not supposed to set you’re gun on the ground! But I do feel sorry for him 🙁
I DID NOT SERVE HIM RIGHT.I mean,the master didnt know the dog was going to pull the trigger by accident!Thats not somthing to keep in mind when hunting with your dog.thats gotta hurt.
The dog should NOT go to the pound. It was the master’s fault. I totally disagree with all of you who say the dog should be sent to the pound.
I have takeen a 12 hour hunter sefty course and I say it was the mans fault he shoud have put the gun somewoer off the groud !!! the dog is inushent!!!
