Perhaps the dog had a bone to pick with his owner. A Tennessee man told police he was shot by his dog while lying in bed earlier this week. No, we’re not making this up. We swear.

The gun fired after the dog's paw got stuck in the trigger guard, police said. The victim was relaxing on his bed with a female friend when he was shot.

Every year, thousands of people in the U.S. are injured in accidental shootings. In rare cases, the trigger is pulled by a paw from man’s best friend rather than a human finger.
