“Dog bites man” isn’t news. “Man bites dog” is. But where does dog shoots man fit in?
A man out hunting in Iowa was shot in the leg after a hunting dog stepped on his gun, authorities said.
The accident happened after James Harris, 37, put his gun on the ground to retrieve a fallen pheasant.
One of a pack of hunting dogs following behind stepped on the trigger, and up to 120 birdshot pellets hit Mr Harris in the left calf at short range. (BBC)

It seems that it is news, and “man shoots dog” probably wouldn’t be. “Man bites dog” would have been a more amusing story, though.
