A Pennsylvania man is now hospitalized after his dog allegedly fired a shotgun at him, injuring him in the back, according to the Shillington Police Department.
At approximately 11:13 p.m. on Tuesday, officials received reports of a shooting and that a 53-year-old man had suffered a gunshot wound to his back, police said in a press release obtained by ABC News.
While police were on their way to the scene, officials were informed that a dog had "jumped onto the bed and set the gun off," police said. Once at the scene, officials found the man on the floor and conscious, police said.
The victim told police that before the incident, he was cleaning his firearm -- which was identified as a shotgun -- and had placed it on his bed, officials said. He then proceeded to sit down on the bed, "at which time one of his dogs jumped onto the bed," causing the weapon to fire a round into the man's lower back, officials said.

The guy has to be lying. Who is he covering for? Maybe a girlfriend or maybe one of his own kids?
Hmmm.....
Just sayin'
if only there was a good dog with a gun to defend this person from the dog. 
I bet one of his other dogs would have aimed for the head!
You just can't make this shit up in America!
Damnit Rover! Play dead!
