Hunting Dog shoots Hunter

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Bad dog. Good shot. Hunter James Harris was shot by his dog in a bizarre accident.

Officials of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources say Harris had placed his shotgun on the ground to cross a fence, when his dog stepped on the trigger. Harris was hit in the lower leg and is listed in good condition at an Iowa City hospital.

Authorities say no other people or animals were hurt in the incident. Officials add they won't be pursuing any charges in the case of the dog whose bang was worse than his bite.
