Dog "shoots" man

The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on Monday (October 7) that a man was shot by a dog-by accident, of course.

The incident happened on October 3 in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. Senior Inspector Henry Binas said that the victim, a 45-year-old man, was chatting with neighbors and relatives when his dog suddenly emerged. The dog "brushed" against an unfortunately placed shotgun, which "fell against a slightly elevated bamboo gate’s base."

According to the reports, the dog accidentally touched or kicked the trigger, causing it to fire.
