Most pet owners worry about accidents like chewed slippers, broken flowerpots, or the occasional stolen sandwich. A Pennsylvania man, however, can now add “survived being shot by my own dog” to the list of things he never expected to happen on a quiet Monday night.
On Nov. 11, at around 11 p.m., Shillington police officers arrived at a home on State Street in response to a shooting. There, they found a 53-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his lower back. As first reported by the local news station, the man explained that the shooter was not an intruder, a neighbor, or a disgruntled family member. It was his beloved pet dog.
