[NYP] Hey, keep your paws off!A Texas dog owner was "shot" by his pooch when the animal’s paw mistakenly got jammed in the trigger of a firearm, cops said.
"Imagine having your pistol tucked inside your waistband and while picking up your dog, a paw gets lodged in the trigger and fires the weapon, sending a bullet into and through your thigh. Well, that happened here in Plano," the Plano Police Department said this week in a Facebook post.
Police officer David Tilley said the injury was not life-threatening and the man was able to bring himself to the hospital.
"Fortunately, it was just a through and through shot — it didn’t hit a main artery or anything," Tilley told the Dallas News. "He took himself to the hospital and he’s fine."
