PARIS (Reuters) - A French hunter was shot by his dog after he left a loaded shotgun in the trunk of his car with two dogs and one of the animals accidentally stepped on the trigger, police said Wednesday.

The man, from the village of Espelette in the Basque region, was admitted to a hospital in the nearby town of Bayonne Monday with leadshot injuries to the hip.

"As he was driving along, one of his dogs accidentally set off the gun," said a police official.


Frankly I don't think it was an "accident".

I don't like careless gun owners, regardless of their nationality.

The dogs were in the trunk of his car?

Basic firearm safety applies internationally.

If I'm not mistaken, by trunk they probably mean the area like in a hatchback or a station wagon.
