An American dog owner was shot by his pet after it jumped on his bed and set off a loaded gun, police said Wednesday."The dog is a playful dog, and he likes to jump around and stuff like that, and it just went off,

The gun fired after the dog's paw got stuck in the trigger guard, police said. The victim was relaxing on his bed with a female friend when he was shot.

The incident's eerily similar to a 2018 accidental shooting in southern New Mexico, where a 74-year-old hunter landed in the hospital when his dog's paw got caught in his rifle's trigger. The man was sitting in the truck and the rifle was in the backseat.
