In one of the more original ways to ruin a romantic mood, a Tennessee man claimed that he was "relaxing" in bed with his female friend when he was shot in the leg … by his dog.
Man's best friend indeed.
According to PEOPLE, a Memphis Police Department report listed the incident as an "accidental injury."
The man allegedly told officers he was laying on his bed 'relaxing' and 'talking' with his female friend when his dog 'jumped on the bed and got his paw stuck in the trigger guard and ended up hitting the trigger.'
The man, who has not been identified, was 'grazed in his top left thigh,' police said.
Although the man's female friend allegedly left the scene with the gun following the incident, the Memphis Police Department said that officers were able to locate 'one spent shell casings on the front room floor.'
Sounds plausible and in no way suspicious. I mean, it makes perfect sense that the man's "female friend" would run off with the gun while he was lying there bleeding, right?
Of course, you won't be surprised that the dog, Oreo, was a one-year-old pit bull, as reported by Fox 8.
Reporters asked the "female friend" if she was woken up by the dog or the gunshot and she said both.
'The gunshot. Yeah, a combination of the two.'
Oreo's owner and the woman - whom the station agreed not to name in its coverage - reportedly said they would be sure to engage the safeties of any guns in their home moving forward.
At least get a fitted kydex holster, my man!
First responders treated the man‘s injury before transporting him to a hospital in "non-critical" condition.
Maybe next time he'll remember to spring for the expensive dog food.
