A WOMAN IN the US state of Indiana is recovering after being shot by her dog.
The dog is named Trigger.
The Associated Press quotes Indiana Conservation Officer Jonathon Boyd as saying 25-year-old Allie Carter of Avilla laid her 12-gauge shotgun on the ground without the safety on during a waterfowl hunt on Saturday at Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area, around 140 miles south of Indianapolis.
Boyd says Carter’s chocolate Labrador retriever, Trigger, stepped on top of the shotgun and pulled the trigger.
He says Carter was shot in the left foot at point-blank range, suffering injuries to her foot and toes.
She was treated at two hospitals and released.

The number of shootings by dogs is clearly on the rise. Be vigilant America
The only way to stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.
There’s a different breed of criminal these days.
stupid woman…hope the dog didn’t get too much of a fright
Dog owners need more guns so they can protect themselves
Guns and idiots are a bad mix.
Trigger by name, trigger by nature…
His owner kept calling him Dave.

rodney :Did they name him trigger because he carries a shooter ? del:no its because he looks like a horse

She should breed the Dog.
US Cops would buy her pups.

paws for thought people !!
Luckily it didn’t happen in Texas, otherwise the dog would’ve gotten the electric chair
2 hospitals?
America
Nominative determinism.
A Hunter? Shame it was only minor injuries.
Always have autosafe on a shotgun and learn the habit of slipping the safety off as you mount the gun for the shot – even on a clay pigeon shoot.
This could have happened in any country…
Its like raaaaiiiin on your wedding day
what you would call a gundog!
Local police are said to be following a definite whine of enquiry…..
Should have learned a bit of gun safety lessons first. Unbelievably stupid people about.
I’m going to get myself a dog and call it QuickPick.
Do, you might double your chances
Stupid bitch
