How bizarre... Too bad the puppy didn't have better aim.

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.

Incredible stuff... I think lesson this teaches us is not to hold two puppies and a gun at the same time. The guy could have just given the puppies to the pound instead of trying to shoot them.

thats (some thing religious coming up) a work of god.. weather you believe in him or not..

It's a touching story and all, and as an animal lover I have to applaud the outcome, but, c'mon, a work of god?

Sounds more like a coincidence made possible by the stupidity of a person who tries to juggle a gun and two puppies at the same time.

Bill O'Rights · 09-09-2004, 06:58 AM

WTF was this asswipe thinking? Couldn't he just as easily have taken the puppies to the shelter himself? Or was that just too much trouble? Too bad it wasn't his shooting hand that was wounded. That might keep him from being able to pick up another gun, and pulling something like this again.

This is what comes from putting warning labels on screwdrivers..."Do Not Poke In Eye". Too many people still in the soup carrying the moron gene.

bigoldalphamale · 09-09-2004, 06:59 AM

HA!!!! that makes me chuckle.

sailor · 09-09-2004, 07:00 AM

Poetic justice at its finest.

And I think the guy was almost elligible for a Darwin award.

maleficent · 09-09-2004, 07:08 AM

Too bad the other pups couldn't have been saved...

What a loser...

The Phenomenon · 09-09-2004, 07:10 AM

Thats pretty bizarre :P

He got what he deserved IMO.

Glory's Sun · 09-09-2004, 07:18 AM

morbidly funny .. or is it just me?

MageB420666 · 09-09-2004, 08:30 AM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

He got what he deserved, although it should have taken his arm off instead of just hitting his wrist. I mean jeez what a moron, he could have just taken them to an animal shelter or given them away for free, just because you can't sell them doesn't mean you need to shoot them.

la petite moi · 09-09-2004, 08:33 AM

THOSE POOR PUPPIES! God, people are so cruel!

stonegrody · 09-09-2004, 09:17 AM

I heard the puppy pistol whipped the guy five times after he shot him. One for each of his brothers. Now that's vengeance, baby!

omega2K4 · 09-09-2004, 09:30 AM

That dog is hardcore. I'd totally adopt that dog. He's a thug.

World's King · 09-09-2004, 09:31 AM

That's what he gets... Asshole.

Cadwiz · 09-09-2004, 10:00 AM

To bad the dog missed his head.

Averett · 09-09-2004, 10:11 AM

Picture of the puppies:

I'm guessing its the pup on the right. He looks badass.

They are so cute! I want one. Yay for puppies!

mb99usa · 09-09-2004, 10:16 AM

OK, we denounce the pit bull but praise the gun wielding mutt?

I'm totally against canine on human violence. Let's keep the violence within species guys.

Seriously though this guy got what he deserved.

redarrow · 09-09-2004, 11:46 AM

It's wrong to be shooting animals, but they probably would have ended up in a small crowded cage at the pound, then later put to sleep. Maybe the guy just wanted them to go out at home, not after a few weeks in a dirty pound.

inharmony · 09-09-2004, 12:25 PM

I'm sorry I'd rather 'go out' via needle than shot in the head any day. What an asshole, he got off easy! :P

Esoteric · 09-09-2004, 12:29 PM

He got what he deserved.

Fremen · 09-09-2004, 12:50 PM

"Hey pup, whar ya goin' with that there gun?"

"I'm a goin' ta kill the man what shot my paw!"

K-Wise · 09-09-2004, 01:14 PM

And they weren't even Pit Bulls

Asta!!

seriously, this country has become populated with numbskulls and nitwits who don't think their way through things, and this is what happens. man shot by puppy. if anyone deserved that fate, it was this guy.

i'm looking foward to more darwinism in action.

Now, I've been know to be pretty heartless at times, but come on-- how could anyone shoot anything so cute... jeesh - that's just so wrong...

punx1325 · 09-09-2004, 02:22 PM

I'm glad to see when assholes get what they deserve, people like that should be drug out in the street and shot! It sickens me to know there are people out there that can hurt such loving animals.

Y2KDREAD · 09-09-2004, 03:42 PM

note to self, watch my back when the dog seems to be in a bad mood.

My sentiments exactly. You hit two birds with one stone here. Addressing the God issue and the stupidity of some humans in one sentence.

I hope everyone else caught this, that is comedy gold! I'm gonna be laughing about that all day

Cheers!

fypon · 09-09-2004, 05:12 PM

To bad he didnt get shot in the nuts. That way this moron wouldn't be able to reproduce if he hasn't already.

Better luck next time little doggie!

MSD · 09-09-2004, 05:25 PM

I tried to post this 6 hours ago, but I guess it got lost in the server.

Why does this guy deserve to be shot when we wouldn't have given it a second thought, or even heard about it, if they had been brought to the pound and euthanized in two weeks? Do people who do that deserve to be stabbed with the needle they're using?

fypon · 09-09-2004, 07:17 PM

If you’re referring to my post.

It was more about being a moron way he went about it than the act itself.

He was nearly a Darwin award candidate!

basmoq · 09-09-2004, 08:00 PM

you'd have to be such an idiot to hold a gun and anything else
