“An American dog owner was shot by his pet after it jumped on his bed and set off a loaded gun, police said on Wednesday. The man, from Memphis, Tennessee, was asleep beside his female partner when he was shot early on Monday morning, escaping with a graze to his left thigh that was treated in hospital. The dog – a year-old pit bull named Oreo – ‘got his paw stuck in the trigger guard and ended up hitting the trigger,’ a police incident report said.” (03/12/25)
