Hunter Killed When Dog Steps On Gun Officials Say They Found Paw Prints On Gun HOUSTON -- A Texas hunter has died after his dog apparently stepped on a loaded shotgun and it went off. Perry Price III died over the weekend from severe blood loss after being shot while he hunted geese about 60 miles east of Houston. He placed the weapon in the back of his truck and was about to open the tailgate to release his chocolate Labrador retriever named Arthur when the gun fired. The dog's paw prints were later found on the gun. Price's hunting partner tried to give his friend first aid and drove him to get help, but the man died at a hospital. The local sheriff said it's "the strangest case" he's ever seen.

And should have never happened by the sound of things.  Simple gun handling rules.  What a shame..
