Nothing wrong with the dog except having a negligent owner.

A well cared for and well fed dog does not shoot its owner

dang. One careless mistake and a guy suffers for the rest of his life.

A few years ago, one of the other dads on my daughters softball team used to be a NFL player... Keith Heinrich.
Same thing happened to him, but he was fortunate enough, he didn't loose his foot.He was duck hunting, went to move decoys, set his shotgun down & started walking towards the decoys & his dog got up & stepped on the trigger. He was fortunate not to loose his foot, but his ankle & foot were pretty jacked up

My Dad’s (an honest to goodness WWII hero), only advice to his eldest son, as he boarded a plane to a war zone:

“Don’t zig if you should have zagged.”

Sometimes it’s as simple as that ...

“Heckford said ex-lineman Matt Branch was accidentally hit by a blast from his shotgun, which he had left loaded in the bed of his pickup truck.”

That’s all I need to know about the situation

Shrug

If I am not done shooting birds and walk up to my truck for some water I have no issue setting my gun in the bed of the truck loaded with the safety on.

A guy was killed maybe 8years ago when, iirc, the shot actually penetrated the tailgate. Set off by the dog. Prolly tired of playing fetch

I'm sure the dogs had these shootings pre - planed

Is the dog ok? I didn't see any mention of it in the article.

Reading the article it never mentioned if the safety was on but did state the dog stepped on it then hit the trigger.

Unfortunate situation but guess it happens more often than you would think.

guns be dangerous the Dims are right.
