Somebody get Alanis Morissette on the phone.

Ironically, a dog named Trigger has shot his owner in the foot in Indiana.

According to the Associated Press, 25-year-old Allie Carter of Avilla laid her 12-gauge shotgun on the ground without the safety on during a waterfowl hunt on Saturday at Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area, around 140 miles south of Indianapolis. Carter’s chocolate Labrador retriever, Trigger, stepped on top of the shotgun and pulled the trigger.

Carter is reported to be recovering from injuries to her foot and toes. She has been released from hospital.
