Hunter recovering after being shot by dog

Was the dog's name "dick"

 

Cheney's breeding?

 

Dog: revenge - you shot my paw

From Joe Cartoon Site.

 

Well that dog's gonna have to be put down... you know once they have a taste for blood, they're hooked! Seriously though, it sounds like that hunter did more than one basic safety thing wrong to be in the position to be shot by his own gun.

 

I do NOT advocate the shooting of hunters. But I am amused when it happens. Doesn't the Bible say, "Who lives by the sword shall die by the sword."? I am reminded of the B. Kliban drawing (which I'd post a scan of, were it not for the copyright) entitled "Never give a gun to ducks," and showing a man gingerly holding out a pistol to a duck.

 

This is why I would never let my dogs handle the firearms. There's no telling what might happen when they get really excited. :lol:

 

The dog had to pay a hefty fine as Hunters were out of season.

He also didn't have a valid hunting license at the time.

 

The OP does not say what kind of a dog it was. If it was a retriever he probably had a pretty good reason for shooting the guy. Retrievers are smart dogs, and gentle by nature. A retriever wouldn't shoot someone just on a whim, the way an unbalanced german shepherd might.

 

Frankly, the hunter should have all firearms that he possesses/owns confiscated and not returned until he completes a firearms safety class. Leaving a loaded shotgun out of his control is asking for an accident. There is a reason why you unload your firearm when climbing over a fence for example - IT MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY GET DISCHARGED.... Dumb s**t!!!!

You're assumeing it was an accident the dog shot his master.

It could have been a simple matter of motive and opportunity.

And a smart dog deciding to take advantage of an opportunity....

That's why I'm thinking Lab.

I had a pointer. Dumb as a brick.

And apparently it's not all that uncommon.

Dog shoots hunter.

"Alan Foster, a spokesman for the natural resources department, told the AFP news agency that it was not uncommon for hunters to be shot by their dogs.

"I hear about it a couple of times a year," he said. "

Maybe dogs don't like hunting. Maybe they don't like participating in the senseless killing of poor little birds and are providing the birdies a little payback.

Have you ever really watched your dog's face? Have you watched them watching you while you drive? Doesn't it make you want to hide the car keys? (I swear if Caesar had legs long enough to reach the clutch I would have. That dog used to ride with his paw on my hand while I shifted gears.)

Like I said above, if it was a Lab, he probably had a good reason.
