Sofia - A tussle between a hunter and his dog in north-east Bulgaria over prey ended with the dog shooting the man, local media reported Thursday.

The man lost his temper when the Deutsch-Drahthaar hunting dog refused to release a killed bird it brought back and began beating it with the rifle.

But the dog's paw caught the trigger and the hunter ended up with buckshot hitting him. The extent of his injuries was not reported, but it was said that the dog injured a paw. - Sapa-dpa

A TUSSLE over prey between a Bulgarian hunter and his hound ended when the dog shot the man.

The man lost his temper and began beating his Deutsch-Drahthaar hunting dog with a rifle when the animal refused to release a killed bird it had brought back.

But the dog's paw caught the trigger and the hunter was blasted with buckshot. The extent of his injuries was not reported - but local media said the dog injured a paw.

Neutral: Honorable Mention
We do have a similar story, but it qualifies.

Jack said:
Definitely Toss: Repeat
See http://darwinawards.com/slush/new/pending20050917-090109.html "Dog Shoots Hunter." And this is the second time you've submitted this story. As the old advertisement used to say, "Sorry, Charlie, we're looking for quality, not quantity."

James said:
Neutral: For Darwin's Eyes
As Greg and Jack said, it is a repeat.

Repeat, yes, but with possibly better-verifiable sources. Darwin, your thoughts?
