Dog shoots man in bed.

An American dog owner was shot by his pet after it jumped on his bed and set off a loaded gun, police said on Wednesday.

The man, from Memphis, Tennessee, was asleep beside his female partner when he was shot early on Monday morning, escaping with a graze to his left thigh that was treated in the hospital.

The dog — a year-old pit bull named Oreo — “got his paw stuck in the trigger guard and ended up hitting the trigger”, a police incident report said. It did not specify the type of weapon fired and recorded the incident as “accidental injury”.

While gun violence is prolific in the United States, cases of animals shooting humans are rare.

That's pretty funny, but at the same time absolutely terrifying. What kind of absolute fecking moron sleeps in bed, next to his partner and keeps a loaded gun in bed with them?

Guns don't kill people, dogs do.
