Dog Shoots Man!

Forget that man bites dog stuff. This is serious. An Iowa man has been shot, point blank, by a pack of dogs. No, really, he was.

CHICAGO (AFP) - A pack of hunting dogs shot an Iowa man as he went to retrieve a fallen pheasant, authorities said.

James Harris, 37, was shot in the leg while hunting with some friends on Saturday afternoon.

The group shot a bird which landed on the other side of a fence, the Iowa Department of Natural Resource said in a press release.

"Harris reportedly went to retrieve the bird, placed his gun on the ground and crossed the fence near the muzzle end," the press release said.

"When he crossed the fence, hunting dogs stepped on the gun, which discharged and struck Harris in the left calf at a distance of roughly three feet."

The dogs have crossed over to the dark side. They are now joining the Animal Uprising™. Man's best friend becomes man's worst nightmare.
