FORT DODGE, Iowa — With best friends like these, who needs enemies?

An Iowa man says his dog inadvertently shot him while they were roughhousing Wednesday.

Fifty-one-year-old Richard Remme, of Fort Dodge, told police he was playing with his dog, Balew, on the couch and tossed the dog off his lap. He says when the pit bull-Labrador mix bounded back up, he must have disabled the safety on the gun in his belly band and stepped on the trigger.

The gun fired, striking one of Remme’s legs. He was treated at a hospital and released later that day.

1. People that lust after guns & carry them all the time

are the exact people who should not have guns.

8. Yep, not a good idea to have a gun in your waistband when sitting on the sofa.

The gunshot must have scared the shit out of the dog, I feel for the poor dog.

7. He was sitting on his couch playing with is dog with a loaded gun in his belt?

...IN FUCKING IOWA?

Either Fort Dodge, Iowa must be a very dangerous place or Richard Remme must be a very, very frightened man.

9. Nah. He is a gunhumper until death do him part and one bullet to an artery would have given it to

him.

10. dog needs to learn how to shoot better.

11. Clearly this is a canine mental health issue

I think we should arm good dogs so that they can protect their owners from the bad dogs. We could also give the owners buckets of rocks to throw at dogs who are packing AK-47s.

13. Did he do that thing where you pretend to throw the ball, but don't?

[Iggo]

14. Wow! That doesn't sound like a lie at all!

[Flaleftist]

15. Well, better than him shooting the dog. nt
