Florida Man Shot by his Own Dog!

AL | 7:38 AM |


Gregory Dale Lanier, 35, of Sebring Florida was driving merrily along State Road 17 North with only his dog as a companion when he suddenly felt a sharp a sharp pain in his leg.

Lanier's dog through some chain of events fired a weapon upon its owner, wounding his leg in the process. Lanier didn't know the 9mm pistol resting on the floor of his truck was loaded and found out the hard way when the dog accidentally caused it to fire upon him.

This isn't the first time a dog has fired a weapon at its owner. In 2011, a yellow Labrador from Utah jumped onto a 12-gauge shotgun and fired 27 pellets into his owner's buttocks. Recently, we also did story on how a dog managed to jump into a car and cause the vehicle to run over it's owner, killing them in the process; both incidents putting the title "Man's best friend" in question. Dale may have massive explaining to do his life insurance company because such a kerfuffle is guaranteed to cause a massive spike in his term life insurance rates.

Police  say they have no plans to arrest a dog in question, after determining that the shooting was accidental.
