Keshwar Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/labra...0-1225825959379 A DUCK hunter in California is recovering after being shot by his own dog. The 53-year-old man was wounded in the upper back when his female black labrador retriever stepped on his loaded shotgun, causing the safety to disengage and the weapon to fire, Fox 26 and KMPH.com reported. Officials at Merced County Sheriff's Department said the man was hunting with a friend near Los Banos on Saturday. As they packed up at the end of the day, the victim set down his shotgun and went to retrieve some decoy ducks about 15m away. At that moment the dog stepped on the shotgun. The injured man was treated at Los Banos Memorial Hospital and released. ___________________ I reckon the dog was on the duck's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabrador Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 They don't call 'em gun dogs for nothing And that's what you get for not feeding a labrador as much food as they want. Eventual revenge for all the years of "starvation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
