A Florida man was shot and injured by his best friend, as in man’s best friend – his dog! The ‘accidental’ shooting took place in the man’s truck after he had placed his dog in the shotgun position.
Gregory Dale Lanier, 35, of Florida, didn’t think much of the fact he has stowed his .38- sidearm resting on the floor of his truck, this is until his pup kicked it and fired a bullet into his leg.

“Lanier said he heard boom, saw smoke and felt a burning in his leg,” Sebring Police Cmdr. Steve Carr said.
