Beware of dog.

A Florida man became the second hunter in the past two weeks to be shot by his own pooch when his bulldog, Eli, discharged a rifle into his leg on Saturday.

Late last month, a Utah hunter was shot in the buttocks by his dog during a botched duck hunt. Doctors dislodged 27 pellets of bird shot from the 46-year-old's body following the mishap.


Found this a little funny but more painful than anything from the story!

This is the painful part. Driving with a loaded gun in the front seat? WTF were you thinkin? :roll:

“[Brown's] friend was riding next to him in the front seat, with the dog and the gun in between them,” Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Gary Morse told ABC News.

As the trio drove down a rough limestone road, Eli "got excited in the truck" and knocked against their rifle, firing off a round, another Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told TBO.

The more I think about this story the more I shake my head...besides the obvious of unloading your weapon and casing it...how about putting the dog in a travel crate so they don't get hurt.

Some folks just make us all look stupid.

I still hold to the thought that the dog was a little angry at his owner and saw an opportune time to teach him a lesson :D someone needs to talk to the dog...violence is never the answer!


Okay I am done with the silliness...
