Shot In The Back - By His Own Dog!

Bushwhacked Arizona hunter cheats death

AN OLD dog can learn new tricks — and it nearly cost one hunter his life!

Sonny Gilligan had just parked his truck to start hunting jackrabbits in New Mexico when his dog, Charlie, shot him in the back!

“Charlie got his foot in the trigger of the shotgun and I leaned forward and he slipped off the seat and caught the trigger — and it shot,” says Gilligan, 74.

“It was a freak accident but it’s true. That’s what happened.”
