You know the adage -- "If a dog bites a man, it's not news. But if a man bites a dog, it should lead as top story on the 11 PM news."

Well, here's a twist

Dog Shoots Man (And of course, it had to be France)

PARIS (Reuters) - A French hunter was shot by his dog after he left a loaded shotgun in the trunk of his car with two dogs and one of the animals accidentally stepped on the trigger, police said Wednesday.

The man, from the village of Espelette in the Basque region, was admitted to a hospital in the nearby town of Bayonne Monday with leadshot injuries to the hip.

"As he was driving along, one of his dogs accidentally set off the gun," said a police official.

If that isn't dumb, leaving a gun alone with any animal.
