Pull up some you tube videos. You would be amazed at what animals can do. I have a cat that can flush the toilet. Usually when I’m on it. He’s teaching me about courtesy flushes.

Toilet “triggers” are exposed and require nothing more than a playful swat by the cat to operate. Gun triggers are enclosed by a guard that is barely larger than a finger and require a pull backwards of several pounds to fire the gun. The story is bogus.

I can’t read this article because it’s behind a paywall but per Fake News Wapo it’s happened on multiple occasions:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/10/27/a-dog-shoots-a-person-almost-every-year-in-america/

I can’t see it either, but even if everything in the article is true, it doesn’t mean this one is not bogus. Just too much about this one does not add up.

It’s possible that that dude shot the woman and they’re covering it up by blaming the dog.

[WildRose]

Entirely possible and highly likely. It’s also just as likely and probable that she accidentally shot herself.

If she shot herself, probably no real need to concoct the dog story. They probably didn’t want the guy to get in trouble.

[WildRose]

Accidentally shooting yourself is a criminal offense. the dog doing it is not.

[WildRose]

I’ll correct the above. They could make a case for reckless endangerment, reckless conduct resulting in the unlawful discharge of a firearm.

Or she shot herself.

Sure there is. Embarrassment.

Play it again Sam. You good smart dog.

This compilation of smart dogs will leave you astonished!

Why are dogs above the law. They are not presidents.

@Janet_Miller

A dog got spooked by a high pitched noise and jumped onto a back seat, accidentally discharging an unsecured weapon, and THIS is grounds for gun control?!

OK…

For me it’s grounds for a good laugh. And “we need more good dogs with guns” was hilarious. (forgot who posted it - OP?)

For every man who has actually been shot by a dog accidentally causing a gun to fire, I bet there are twenty men (or women) who are too embarrassed to admit that they accidentally shot themselves.

We are making progress. You just admitted there are dogs that accidentally shoot people.

Bad dogs, Bad dogs, Whatcha gonna do when they come for you, Bad dogs.

@WildRose

Nothing about it makes sense.

I’d love to know what make and model the gun is.

I think I read it was an Airedale Terrier special. A one shooter.

Quick on the draw if you have quick paws.

This story doesn’t add up.

If the gun was secured in the console how did the dog manage to fire it?

Don’t leave a hot gun laying around where it can be negligently discharged, problem solved.

And here we go.

So can you explain how a dog can pull the trigger of a gun (three times, according to the report) that’s inside the console of a car?

Story says “in the center console”. The cover must have been open.

The story also says three empty cases were found in the car. Never mind how improbable that someone would drive around with the console open and that a dog could get a toe on the trigger, but three times? That simply goes way beyond belief.

Was the moon landing real in your opinion?

Obviously not. I have video proof:

Nor Vice Presidents. Nor the sons of VPs. Nor FBI agents. Nor hag… wait! Hildawg!

We need to have a sign that says beware of dog then in little letters underneath say with gun

[SimplyTrying]

Neutering a dog can be fatal.

Progress at what? I have never said that dogs have not accidently cause guns to fire. But this story simply does not sound the least bit credible.
