Portland Man Shot By His Own Dog

The dog was quoted as saying, “Now, if you try to take me to the vet again, I’m gonna get medieval on your ass!”
PORTLAND, Ore. – A man who was accidentally shot by a 12-gauge shotgun on Saturday after his dog jumped into a boat is recovering. Matthew Marcum’s legs and buttocks were injured in the bizarre incident and he was taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center in Portland.
Marcum’s father, Henry, said his 23-year-old son was about to tie up an 11-foot open aluminum boat, when his 3-year-old Labrador, Drake, jumped into the boat.
Matthew Marcum said his dog, Drake, is a good dog and he isn’t upset with him. (H/T – Yahoo!)
Dude, the dog shot you! I think you’re way past rubbing his nose in your blood and saying, “Bad dog!” It’s time, as the Mafia would say, to take him on a ride.

Without knowing more details, I’m gonna have to side with the dog on this one.
A painful lesson, for the dog.
Josh – I would tend to agree with you.
Admiral – And a Darwin Award for the owner.
Just wait till Chuck Schumer hears about this. Pretty soon we’ll be seeing some federal legislation banning the carrying of guns by dogs.
I keep hearing Forrest Gump:
“He shot me in the buttocks.”
Well at least he is not the vice president of US . The Dog was a accident!!
John D – Hell, he’ll just ban dogs.
Doghouse – Maybe the dog will get the Congressional Medal of Honor?
George – Don’t knock Cheney. I’ve wanted to shoot some of my friends in the face for a while. Ya hear me, Vincent? Heh.
Again, another violation of basic firearm safety practices…
I always knew labs were smart, but that is taking it to extremes
)
Our older lab started opening the fridge, so we had to get a lock for it, good thing the gun cabinet already has a lock.
I have a black lab mix and he’s been staring at me kinda funny lately. Thanks for the heads up.
Tom – By the man or the dog?
E.L. – While you’re at it, hide the car keys!
Jon – Not a problem. It’s why I’m here. Heh.
Guns don’t kill people, dogs with guns kill people. lol
