Weird News: Dog Named Trigger Accidentally Shot His Owner When He Stepped On Her Shotgun

October 27, 2015

On second thought, naming the dog Ass Chewer wouldn’t have been such a bad idea after all.

According to The Guardian, a chocolate Labrador Retriever named Trigger ironically shot his owner in the foot over the weekend when he stepped on the, well, trigger of her 12-gauge shotgun she had left on the ground without its safety on.

Authorities said 25-year-old Allie Carter was hunting waterfowl in the Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area roughly 140 miles north of Indianapolis Saturday morning when Trigger accidentally stepped on her shotgun, injuring her left foot and toes in the process.

Carter was treated at two hospitals for some reason before she was released. She wasn’t charged for the incident despite the fact that she had never taken a hunter’s safety course, something that can probably be classified as the second-worst decision she has ever made.
