JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The old journalism adage is that "dog bites man" isn't a story, but "man bites dog" is. Nobody ever said anything about "dog shoots woman."

According to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office incident report, a man told police that his dog shot his girlfriend in the leg.

It happened late Tuesday night at a home on Patuou Drive West in the Herlong neighborhood on the city's Westside.

Police said a man and a woman were sleeping when they were woken up by the man's dog, Diesel.

The man told officers that he got up to let the dog outside, and when they came back inside, Diesel walked back into the dark bedroom where the man's girlfriend was still sleeping.

The man then saw a "flash and a bang" -- it's believed that the dog jumped up on the nightstand, causing a Springfield XD40 to discharge, according to the report.

I wanna hear the dog’s side of it before I draw any conclusions.

I figured it was a Rem 700.

They don’t even need a dog.
