Dog Shoots Man

Source: Deseret News

BRIGHAM CITY — It wasn't his dog's bark or bite that had a Brigham City man concerned, it was his aim.

A man was recovering Wednesday after being shot over the weekend by his dog.

A 46-year-old Brigham City man and a friend were duck hunting Sunday about 8:30 a.m. on the north end of the Great Salt Lake near the bird refuge, about 10 miles west of Brigham City.

The two had their canoe-like boat in a shallow marsh area when the man got out of the boat to either set up or collect decoys. He laid his 12-gauge shotgun across the bow of the boat, said Box Elder County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Kevin Potter.

I know this isn't the first time this has happened.

Boats, booze, firearms, and dogs are a bad combination.

Alcohol + firearms. It's a wonder I ever made it past elementary school.... :scared:

Especially if he's got a shotgun!

Don't ask me how I know this.

I can see hunting, and a hunting dog being allowed to actually hunt, but I have some problems with dogs being allowed to drink....in Utah or anywhere else for than matter. They just can't hold their liquor and pee all over the yard, dump your trash can over, make a lot of noise coming into the house, oh, wait, that was my alcoholic ex.

Drink and guns do not go together, and if it were a real accident, I would never have admitted my dog did it. I would make up something better like I was drinking and the gun went off.

And if booze was involved, unless the dog was at least 21, it was illegal for it to be drinking.

:-)

As for the dog being old enough to drink, do we measure that in dog years? :beer:

;)

..at least according to the wiki...

Too funny! :rofl:

that he uses on the ducks.

...to hold out on the doggie treats.

I the guns and hunting so, sorry dude. Get another hobby.

A gun safety never-do. He should have unloaded the firearm and laid in the bottom of the boat.

Should've s and Could've s are almost as common as the mistakes themselves...

Just sayin'...

He probably took a driver's ed course as well. But we all know how much influence that has on many drivers.

Santorum said this would happen.

gun. The gun fired and shot the man in the buttocks.

Medical crews later removed 27 pellets of birdshot.

"(The dog) did something to make the gun discharge," Potter said. "I don't know if the safety device was on. It's not impossible the dog could have taken it off safety."

Just in case

I can't help but wonder if his last name was "Gump".

Sorry, couldn't resist. Old joke.

Dick Cheney?
