Man Shoots Bird, Dog Shoots Man

Here's an animal world feel good story:
TAMA, Iowa — A Tama man was injured when hunting dogs stepped on his gun.

Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources say 37-year-old James Harris was pheasant hunting with a group about three miles north of Grinnell when the accident happened.

Officials say the group had shot a bird and when Harris went to retrieve it, he put his gun on the ground and crossed a fence. As he crossed the fence, hunting dogs stepped on his gun causing it to fire.

Harris was shot in the lower left leg.

The man will survive, the bird...not so much.
