Indiana woman shot during waterfowl hunt by her dog named Trigger

[0101ABA]

Authorities say a northern Indiana woman is recovering after being shot in the foot by her dog.

And the dog's name? Trigger.

(...) 25-year-old Allie Carter of Avilla laid her 12-gauge shotgun on the ground without the safety on during a waterfowl hunt Saturday at Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area.

Boyd says Carter's chocolate Labrador retriever, Trigger, stepped on top of the shotgun and depressed the trigger.

Shot in the foot, no less. This will be fodder for late-night talk show jokes, for sure.

Wow. Who puts a gun down with the safety off? And what are the odds of the dog's name being Trigger? Lol
