Dog Shoots Owner in Buttocks

Dog with gun

Man's best friend, or double agent assassin?

A Utah hunter’s dog went from man’s best friend to his worst enemy Sunday.

According to KSL TV, Two men were duck hunting on the Great Salt Lake when one of the would-be duck assassins climbed out of the boat to either set or retrieve decoys.

Unfortunately before plunging into the water, he forgot to unload his 12-gauge. The dog stepped on the shotgun, dispersing 27 pellets into the man’s buttocks about 10 feet away.

The 46-year-old was still recovering Wednesday, and authorities said he only suffered minor injuries partly because he was wearing waders.

Now, I don’t know what this guy was taught in his gun safety course—maybe he needs a refresher—but I vividly recall being told that if you leave your gun for any reason, leave it unloaded.

The name of the “victim” has not been released, nor do I expect it to be. As for the pooch? Well, I guess that’s what you call a real American Gun Dog.

    Did anyone talk to the dog? Maybe he shot the idiot in the ass on purpose.

    I have a chocolate lab that could teach that dog new targets to hit. For example dog could go after the mother-in-law.

    The guy broke all of the firearm safety rules … He got off lucky for mishandling his firearm … Now on the lighter side YES this is extremely funny due to the fact only his pride and butt will have permanent scars … As a punishment for such flagrant violations IMO he should have to share his experience with firearm safety classes.

    He said it was the dog when it's more likely it was his friend who shot him.

    Glad you got it in the ass it makes for a funny story, we can all learn from. As I teach in my Hunter Safety Classes A labs paw can push the safety off and pull the trigger at the same time just by stepping down.
    Not an uncommon accident at all.
    Of course your lab new this. I would say 40% chance it was accidental. LOL

    I think his name should be released. The more humiliation the better the lesson will sink in.
