one Ohio According to reports, the man confused the police after telling the police that his dog had shot himself.
According to a report from WLTAOn Monday, Norwalk police received a call detailing the bizarre incident.
Norwalk police Captain Jim Fulton said that 31-year-old Jonathan George told the police at the scene, “His dog shot and committed suicide. He trained the dog to bring him a gun.”
George claimed that his 4-year-old boxer Lulu had a gun in his mouth, “when the gun was accidentally sounded”.
Captain Fulton told the news media that subsequent breathalyzer tests showed that George “exceeded twice the legal driving limit”, which would impair his ability to handle guns.
The dog owner was arrested, and according to the police, he later admitted that he accidentally shot Lulu while trying to remove the gun.
Since then, George has been charged with three misdemeanor crimes-cruelty to animals, holding a gun while drunk, and shooting at the municipality.
At the same time, Lulu underwent surgery to repair the damage caused by the gunshot wound. More than $2,500 in donations have been raised to pay for her care through the Huron County Humane Society.
In a series Facebook The Animal Adoption Center confirmed in the post that although the operation went smoothly, Lulu lost an eye due to the shooting.
A sort of picture Online postings showed that one side of the dog’s face was severely swollen and one eye was missing
After experiencing hardship, she is currently resting in a foster family.
However, there is still a long way to go, and more surgery may be needed.
Daphne Nelson, a humane investigator in Huron County, told WLTA that Lulu’s head had several bullet fragments, which may require more surgery to remove them.
The Huron County Humane Society hopes to raise more funds through further donations. So far, 60 people have donated to the fund.
Despite the serious nature of the injuries, the changes implemented by Ohio House of Representatives Act No. 60 prevent charges against shooting incidents. The Act gives prosecutors the power to charge pet cruelty to pets from misdemeanor to felony.
However, in this case, the bill does not apply because the intent cannot be proven, Daphne Nelson told WLTA.
Accidental shootings involving domestic dogs are rare in the United States, but they did happen.
Back in June, A dog at an Idaho campground was mistaken for a wolf shot in the back of the headFortunately, in this case, the dog continues to fully recover.
Weekly newspaper The Huron County Humane Society has been contacted for the latest news about Lulu.
