A woman in the US state of Indiana is recovering after being shot by her dog in a bizarre hunting accident, an environment official says.

The woman, named as Allie Carter, 25, was hunting waterfowl on Saturday in the north of the state, Jonathon Boyd, an Indiana conservation officer said.

She put down her 12-gauge shotgun but her chocolate Labrador stepped on it, shooting her in the foot.

To add insult to injury, the dog was named Trigger.

It said in the original article that the woman hadn’t taken a hunter safety course. I wonder if the dog had?

My Brittanys cut out the middle man. They are regularly guilty of stepping on my feet, especially when I have no shoes on.

Seems to me I've heard this story a few years ago and the last time it was a man that was shot in the foot.
Sounds like one of those "Urban Legends".

Sure, it was an accident. That’s just what the dog wants you to think...

I LOVE labs. I have always wanted one named Dave. One of these days I will have one of my own. Such good, sweet, smart dogs.

That is a cute dog name.

Yes labs are wonderful. They are also a lot of work, but what a bundle of love. My Franklin is the funniest dog.

My favorites are Labs and Great Danes. Right now I have a Lab/American Staffordshire Terrier cross (was supposed to be Lab/Great Dane but something went wrong) and a Dane. Both are great.

Had a Great Dane named Franny. She had the best sense of humor of any dog I’ve ever had.
