One man's shooting trip in Utah, US took a surprise turn when he
was shot in the buttocks - by his own dog.
The 46-year-old
American (naturally) took his best buddy along on a duck hunt in
Utah, before his four-legged pal "accidentally" stepped on a
shotgun.
The man was rushed to hospital but avoided any
serious injuries, theTelegraph (UK) reports.
How did it
happen? The man was getting out of his boat when the dog shot across
the bow, as it were.
Kevin Potter, the Box Elder County
Sheriff's deputy, who wasn't shot, 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."
