LAS CRUCES - Charlie's still a good dog.

That's what Sonny "Tex" Gilligan said days after Charlie — his 120-pound Rottweiler mix — accidentally shot him.

Gilligan, 74, a Doña Ana County resident, told the Sun-News that Charlie and his two other dogs — Scooter and Cowboy — went with him to hunt for jackrabbits in the desert west of Las Cruces on Thursday, Oct. 25.

Gilligan was in the driver's seat of his parked pickup truck, along with the dogs, when he was shot.

"Charlie got his foot in the trigger of the gun and I leaned forward and he slipped off the seat and caught the trigger — and it shot," Gilligan said. "It was a freak accident but it's true, that's what happened."

Sorry Tex but Charlie posted you were a little tardy with his food and that better stop.

There was a sheriff in Utah who laid his shotgun on the ground to fiddle with his goose decoys. His dog stepped on the trigger and shot half the sheriff's forearm off.

Used to know a guy that lost a leg, at an early age.
Leaned his shotgun against the fence while he crawled through.
Shotgun slipped, went off and damned near blew his lower leg clean off.
When I knew him he was in his 80s and spry as a youngster.

Heard on the radio this morning that this guy's dog got out and got shot and killed by a rancher.

Maybe the rancher was afraid the dog might start shooting livestock?
