First question: what breed of dog was it? Then we can decide if it was “an accident.”
Don’t buy me no more of dat cheap dog food.
Let me think about this from a firearm enthusist for 60+ years. Shot gun on the seat of a truck, live round chambered, firearm not on safety. Something is not right here. No I know what you may be thinking. The dog is not that smart to take the safety off as well as pull the trigger. But then again, dogs are pretty smart these days.
Probably a pit bull. We all know how murderous they are. Now they’re packing shotguns. Accident my eye.
The dog needs more time at the range.
“YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP: Dog Shoots Woman with a Shotgun During Gas Station Stop. That’s why I don’t allow my Lab Henry to handle firearms, he’s crazy that way.
I would guess pit bull but I think they prefer you stay alive as long as you can while they work at you.

If the dog’s name is Bullet, this is probably not his first time ‘playing’ with the owners’ gun.
Maybe the victim was driving one of Elon’s E-Cars.
That ugly model E-Car, with the Tee-Pee roof.
The Dog Owner has a ready alibi: “I was inside the store, purchasing a Pepsi and a Chili Dog. I couldnt’ believe what was happening to me!”
So the dog shot a woman who had a shotgun. Self-defense; got it.
Or maybe . . .
Reminiscent of the plot in the song “Della and the Dealer” (1979, Hoyt Axton).

At first I was a tad outraged, but then remembered this was Nebraska. *SMIRK*

PING!
Bad dog, no biscuit!
Would be a much more believable story if it had been a cat.
Look Megan… GIVE ME THE BALL!!

Notorious gangster Black Bart was nowhere to be found. But Fortunately, Ralphie is on patrol with his Red Ryder. It’s a carbine action, two-hundred shot rifle that even has a compass in the stock.
Was it one of their dogs, Yogi?
I was parked in a nice little park overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the state of Washington. There was a car parked uphill that had a rambunctious German Shepard dog bouncing around in the front seat. The dog knocked the car’s transmission out of park, and the car rolled silently down the hill and struck my car after running over the foot of an unfortunate woman. The insurance claim was not straightforward.
