Wow, a dog that can shoot itself... Maybe I should teach my dog about gun safety?
Dont think I need to worry, she's anti-gun, doesnt like the noise

I think the real kicker is, "If the gun just 'went off' while the dog was playing with it, how did it manage to strike him between the eyes and travel downward through the jaw?"
If I were on the jury, I'd be waving the bullsh*t flag, and I'm glad to hear this guy was convicted. To me it sounds like he was drunk and playing with his pistol and the gun accidentally went off. It's a stupid thing to do.

Should have been convicted of stupid defense.
