A Tennessee man told police he was shot by his dog while lying in bed earlier this week. No, we’re not making this up. We swear. The Memphis Police Department said they received a call about an accidental injury at a home along Whitney Avenue in Memphis shortly before 4:00 a.m. on Monday, according to Fox8.

The gun fired after the dog's paw got stuck in the trigger guard, police said. The victim was relaxing on his bed with a female friend when he was shot.
