Dog shoots owner in buttocks
A man's hunting trip came to an abrupt end when his dog accidentally fired 27 pellets into his backside.
A man was wounded in the buttocks after his pet dog stood on his gun.
The drama unfolded on Sunday, near the Brigham City area of Utah, when the 46-year-old unnamed man and his friend were enjoying a duck hunting trip at a bird refuge.
As a 12-gauge shotgun lay on the bow of the pair?s canoe, the canine was jumping around the boat with excitement and stepped on the gun.
The man, who was in marshy waters setting up decoys, was 10ft away from the gun when 27 pellets of birdshot hit him in the posterior, police said.
The other man, who was in the boat at the time, wasn?t injured.
Deputy sheriff Kevin Potter said: ?The dog did something to make the gun discharge. I don't know if the safety device was on. It's not impossible the dog could have taken it off safety.?
Surprisingly, this odd kind of ill-fated accident wouldn?t be the first time.
As the man recovers in hospital from his wounds, we decided to look at some other cases where pets and animals have pointed the gun.
