DOG SHOOTS MAN WITH GUN !!

A hunting dog shot his owner dead after stepping on the trigger of a loaded shotgun.

Perry Alvin Price died in a hospital from severe blood loss shortly after the accident in south-east Texas.

Police said Mr Price, 46, was hunting near Stowell, about 60 miles east of Houston, when he shot a goose.

Mr Price then put the gun in the back of his truck and was about to open the tailgate to release his dog when the shotgun fired, investigators said. The blast penetrated the truck's tailgate before hitting Mr Price in the thigh.

Paw prints from the dog, a chocolate labrador retriever named Arthur, were found on the muddy shotgun, Sheriff Joe LaRive said.

Daniel Groberg, Price's hunting partner, said he tried to stop the bleeding with clothing before driving him to seek help.

"It's the strangest case that I've seen," Sheriff LaRive said. "We couldn't talk to Perry and Groberg was at the front of the truck when he heard the shotgun blast and didn't see what happened."
