Default If Guns Were Outlawed, Only Bad Dogs Would Have Guns

Pup shoots man, saves litter mates

PENSACOLA, Florida (AP) -- Nice
shootin', Rex!

A man who tried to shoot seven puppies was
shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw
on the revolver's trigger.

Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was charged with
felony animal cruelty, the Escambia County
Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. He was being
treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound to his
wrist.

Bradford said he decided to shoot the
3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head
because he couldn't find them a home,
according to the sheriff's office.

On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies -- one in his
arms and another in his left hand --
when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the
trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The
gun then discharged, the sheriff's report said.

Deputies found three of the puppies in a shallow grave
outside Bradford's home, said sheriff's
Sgt. Ted Roy.

The other four appeared to be in good health and were
taken by Escambia County Animal
Control, which planned to make them available for
adoption.
