PENSACOLA, Florida (AP) -- A Florida man who tried to shoot seven puppies was shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw on the revolver's trigger.

Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was charged with felony animal cruelty, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. He was being treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound to his wrist.

Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn't find them a home, according to the sheriff's office.

On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies -- one in his arms and another in his left hand -- when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged, the sheriff's report said.

I'm sure to be blamed for this, since I got blamed for that kid getting chewed upon by a fish..
So I'll deny it now and avoid the inevitable 'having to deny it' later event.

This is NOT my fault.

How does this qualify as an "Activism" sidebar issue?

Earlier today a puppy was arrested for unlawful discharge of a firearm, disturbing the peace and what could only be describe as dispensing vigilante justice.

The dog is currently being held on 100,000 milk bone bond.

Deputize that DAWG. He must have a mission to fulfill on the earth.

Isn't it mysterious, the will to live and perception of danger and the struggle to survive among some, even in a puppy?
