This dirty dog was one man’s best fiend.
A Memphis man was shot in the leg while canoodling in bed with a lady friend — and he claims his pet pooch is the one who pulled the trigger.
The unidentified man was lying in bed with a female friend “relaxing/talking” around 4 a.m. Monday, an incident report from the Memphis Police Department said.
That was when his dog supposedly jumped up to join them — and things got hairy when Oreo, a 1-year-old pit bull, stepped on a gun, WREG reported and identified the man as Jerald Kirkwood.
“The victim’s dog jumped on the bed and got his paw stuck in the trigger guard,” the police report said.
Oreo’s paw “ended up hitting the trigger,” discharging the weapon and shooting Kirkwood in the leg.
He was left with a graze wound on the left thigh and was treated at the scene by responding paramedics.
But before they arrived, the man’s gal pal lit out and took the gun with her.
“When officers asked the victim where the weapon was, he advised that the female friend took it when she left,” the report read.
One shell casing was recovered at the scene.
Police filed the incident as an “accidental injury.”
