Dog Shoots Owner While Hunting Jackrabbits in New Mexico

 

Dogs may be “man’s best friend,” but not because of their marksmanship.

A 74-year-old man in New Mexico was shot by one of his dogs last week while he and his three canine hunting companions were out pursuing jackrabbits near Las Cruces, according to local media.

Mark Gilligan told reporters that his father, Sonny, often takes his three dogs, Charlie, Cowboy, and Scooby, on hunting trips in his pickup truck. Sonny lets his dogs eat the rabbits he shoots, and his son says his father has always enjoyed pampering his pooches.

“He spoils his dogs, you know. He calls them his boys. He’s very fond of his animals,” Mark said.
