Dog shoots hunter

2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Not a winner, but possibly an honorable mention.

A Bulgarian hunter was shot by his own dog when he tried to knock a bird out of its mouth with his gun.

Vasil Plovdiv, 35, was shooting quail in Rasgrad in the north-east of the country with his German Pointer when the dog, which had retrieved a bird, refused to drop it.

According to police, Plovdiv tried to dislodge the dead quail from the pointer's mouth with the butt of his rifle but the dog sprung at him, knocking the trigger and peppering the hunter's chest with shot.

He is being treated for chest injuries at the local hospital.

I've got mixed feeling about this but since we haven't had a dog shoots man story in a while, I'll reluctantly give this an ok.

Hmmmm ... any chance of any kind of verification of this? I too have read "dog shoots man" stories before. Perhaps a PA - perhaps nothing.

Oops - didn't see link - sorry, not paying attention! :-/

Neutral: Honorable Mention
This one is really sketchy in the details. I think that if the man recovers, he might want to get a different hunting dog. I'll go with Jack and Greg, and agree to an honorable mention but I really wish we had more details.

I too wish we had more details, and a better source than Ananova. But for the time being I'll go along with the other moderators.
