Dog shoots man.

From the Gaurdian:

James Harris, 37, was shot last Friday while out with a party shooting for pheasants in Poweshiek county in the midwest state.

The Iowa natural resources department said the victim rested his gun on the ground while retrieving a shot pheasant. As he crossed a fence a dog trod on the trigger and shot him in the calf from just a metre away.
Although he was hit by more than 100 birdshot pellets his injuries are not life threatening. He is recovering in hospital in Iowa City.

Alan Foster, a department spokesman, told the AFP news agency that it was not uncommon for hunters to be shot by their dogs.

"I hear about it a couple of times a year," he said. "They'll step on the trigger assembly and, if the gun for whatever reason wasn't on safety, it doesn't take a whole lot to trip a trigger."
