Paramedics fought to save man's arm after he was accidentally shot by his dog.
Richard Fipps, the dog's owner was towing a friend's car after it had become stuck, when he ordered his dog to move from the truck's front seat to the back.
In the horrific accident, the dog knocked the trigger on the 46-year-old's rifle with his paw. Fipps was shot as he stood in the middle of the road in Montana, Wyoming.
The injured man was taken to hospital where doctors are fighting to save his arm, although it may have to be amputated.
"Carrying a loaded rifle in a truck is never a good idea, safety on or safety off," Steve Kozisek, the Johnson County Sheriff said.
"The rifle was loaded and in the bed of the truck and the dog hopped up there and either stepped on it or caused something to move and set it off," he added.
Kozisek said it was the first time in his 42-year career in the police force that he had ever dealt with an incident where a pet dog had shot its owner.
Just another example of a good dog exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.
Gotta love 'Merica!
I'm guessing the only way to stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun. Where's Lassie when you need her?

Oh my dog, LOVE that image!
ReplyDeleteAnd this, "Just another example of a good dog exercising his 2nd Amendment rights."
Gryphen, you are the best. I'll keep coming back, even if Klondike Kardashian ends up in the pokey and there's not much to say about her any more (uggh, I thought that was going to happen a LONG time ago!)
Happy Holidays, Uncle G, thank you for always having something interesting for me to start my day with.

DeleteI told you -
DeleteNo dry food!
Only thing that stops a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a bigger gun.
ReplyDeleteI think the 2 top gun nuts in this country: Palin and Nugent should run for POTUS and VEEP in 2016. Their slogan?:

LOL! Talking about a Freudian Slip! (And NO, $carah, the 'slip' here is NOT some skimpy panty that has slipped off your HOOHAH!)
DeleteHope Jill was trained to shoot.
ReplyDeleteIt was no accident. The dog shot him intentionally.
ReplyDelete"the dog to move from the truck's front seat to the back."
ReplyDelete"The rifle was loaded and in the bed of the truck"
Which was it? Sounds fishy to me.
I could almost see the gun loaded.....but cocked in the bed of the truck?
I thought the safety was supposed to be on, ya know. ..
DeleteFor safety...
:/
Your picture is just too funny.
ReplyDeleteThey're all good dogs until there's a body count. Then we see a familiar pattern emerge: didn't get out much, only had a few friends and never really talked to them.
ReplyDeleteClever!
DeleteSmart dog....faithfully doing Darwin a good deed (or at least trying)
ReplyDeleteThis opens ups a can of worms. We all heard the "Dog ate my homework" defense. Now we got "The Dog pulled the trigger and shot my spouse" excuse.
ReplyDeleteGreat Photo! We crate tiny and pixie because it's dangerous. Tiny's a big boned Rottie and pixie is your average run of the mill pit bull, if one of them rolled over it could mean a trip to the hospital.
