Obviously the owner never taught the dog proper gun handling.

Sounds like the dog may need a new home.

Can I give it to my neighbor?

It’s happened before, over here I’m pretty sure.

I don’t know that one of my dogs would shoot me, but I could see them forcing me at gun point to open the fridge and step away.

I read about a similar incident several years ago. A hunter had rested his shotgun against a fence. The dog came nosing or pawing the gun. It fell and went off. I think that the hunter survived. I do not remember if the safety was on or if the dog could have disabled it. It is probably a good idea not to have a round chambered unless you are in control of the rifle or shotgun.

My little girl may push me out of bed while trying to get close but shoot me, NEVER.

I've heard of it happening a few times. IIRC mostly in duck blinds or boats.

Dog was probably smarter than we are giving it credit for.

Maybe the dog read Old Yeller and figured he was up for a different ending.

Not mans best friend!!!!!! Guess the owner shouldn't have skimped on the good food.

Seems to be a pattern... Could be some resentment.
