This if practically a trope. Every coupla years there is a story about a hunting dog firing a gun with its paw. I wonder how many are Snopified, how many are real, and how many are “Charlie was stupid and shot Frank, but lets blame it on Ol’ Blue.”
Some are funny when its birdshot peppering an posterior, some are tragic and a lesson to those that are left behind.
Well, since they won’t print dog bites man stories, the dogs have to up their game. Although, apparently, they are protecting the dog, not even letting out what kind of dog it was that stepped on the shotgun. But as the deputy says, it’s not impossible the dog could have taken the safety off. Uh huh, right.
After the man got out of the boat, a dog inside the vessel jumped up on the bow and stepped on the gun. The gun fired and shot the man in the buttocks.
I like how they have to throw in the extraneous fact that they were legally hunting but near a bird reserve.
Must not be a border collie. They file the sear first.
This story usually includes holing the boat hull.
I had a yellow lab, from a good line, who slept on the shotgun cases, and strained at her lead at a trapshoot. But the sound of a smallbore firing made her wet herself. I thought that was kind of over-breeding. She’d tow a skiff though, so she had that going for her.
Good thing cats can’t read, or they might take up the habit of shooting their owners, too. I strongly suspect my family cat would murder me, if he thought he could get away with it. But then, I think that about most cats.
“get the stick he says, so I brings him the stick and he throws it away and says get the stick so I bring him the stick and he friggin throws it away again and he says get the stick…
