A plumber shot dead by a dog after it stepped on the trigger of his rifle has been pictured lounging with his beloved pet before it later killed him.
Joseph Smith, 30, from Kansas, US, entered the front passenger seat of his truck on Saturday morning in Geuda Springs, which is home to just 194 people north of the Oklahoma border.
The hunter then placed his dog in the back of his jeep along with his hunting gear, which included a rifle.
