Many years ago there was an accidental shooting in Memphis, TN. The man
had a loaded pistol sitting on the coffee table. His dog knocked it off
the table and boom! It went off and the dog's owner was shot in the
back. I found the article, there doesn't seem to be a date on it:

At any rate, the guy was shot by his dog.
