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.

A man in Tennessee claims his dog accidentally shot him Monday morning while he lied in bed with his girlfriend, media outlets reported.

A man allegedly told officers that his dog shot him while he was laying in his bed "relaxing" and "talking" with his female friend on Sunday.

Dogs have previously triggered firearms by stepping on them, often when the weapons are left loaded and unsecured.

Every year, thousands of people in the U.S. are injured in accidental shootings. In rare cases, the trigger is pulled by a paw from man’s best friend rather than a human finger.
