HERO PUP SAVES OTHER PUPS' LIVES

I'm no advocate of solving problems with violence, but self-defense in an already lethal situation is a time-honored exception - so Meat Facts salutes the dog who stopped an idiot who was attempting to murder all of his puppies, "accidentally" turning the gun on the man himslef. "A man who tried to shoot seven puppies was shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw on the revolver's trigger. Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn't find them a home, according to the sheriff's office. On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies -- one in his arms and another in his left hand -- when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged, the sheriff's report said."
