Dog Shoots Owner

A 53-year-old man is recovering from non-life threatening injuries after being shot by his dog on Saturday.

The man was hunting with a partner off near Los Banos, Calif. when he set down his shotgun to retrieve his decoy ducks 15 yards away. The shotgun was loaded but the safety was on, according to authorities. As he was gathering his prize, his female black Labrador retriever stepped on the gun, disengaging the safety and hit the trigger at the same time, firing a shell. The man was struck on the left side of his upper back.

He was treated and released at the hospital the same day.
