Wyoming man shot by his dog | Homestead Security | Forums

Mr Kozisek said it was the first time in his 42-year career in law enforcement that he had ever come across an incident in which a dog has shot a man.

However it appears that this was not the first time that a firearm and canine companion have proved a rather dangerous combination.

In February last year Gregory Lanier, 35, was shot in the thigh while driving his truck after his pet kicked a loaded pistol.

Eli was probably consigned to the doghouse after another unfortunate occurrence.

The bulldog became rather excited and fired a hunting rifle belonging to Billy Brown, shooting his master in the thigh.

In the same year another hunter, this time in Utah, was shot in the buttocks after his dog stepped on a loaded shotgun in his boat.

None of the dogs, as far as it is known, have faced criminal charges.
