Saudi Man Hunting Dogs Kills Himself
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Monday, January 06, 2014

A Saudi man accidentally killed himself as he pulled his gun to shoot at stray dogs passing near his house in the Gulf Kingdom.

The man was in his car when a herd of barking dogs ran past his house in the southern Saudi town of Baha, according to Sabq daily.

“He crawled out of his car’s window and wanted to climb to the roof of the vehicle when his gun accidentally fired…the bullet hit him under the chin and penetrated his skull,” the paper said, quoting police spokesman Lt Colonel Saad Tirad.

Not my dog.

My dog doesn’t like hats.

I guess them A-Rabs try to “herd” everything.

Goldens appear to have somewhat variable temperments.

I had one who was a terrible watchdog, pretty good around cats, great around kids, but had a dominance problem with other dogs and didn’t like porcupines (only twice, though).

Somewhere between a gaggle and flock, apparently.

I believe a pack is when they’re roaming around neighborhoods and such, while a herd is typically indicative of the wild dogs found grazing across the vast prairies of Saudi Arabia and barking toward Mecca 5 times a day. But I’m no veterinarian so I could be mistaken. {grins}

What breed is he?

Some breeds were made for working, and if you don’t exercise them enough to exhaust them, they will be hyper all day long.

Apparently it struck a vital area as well.

Probably his tongue. If he'd lived he'd spend the rest of his life saying AWAH AKBAW!!

The real tragedy is, he didn’t previously teach gun safety to a few hundred other Saudis.

Dittos to that. Would have been nice if the doggies went over and raised a leg and watered down the muzzie stiff and then barked out a few ‘allah ackbars’ also.

Hunting dogs is easy. Why do you get killed doing such? Come after my dog and you will be a bloody mess. Which you were by the way. Hah! Hah!

Probably had a hair trigger and bumped the gun on something dragging out! My guess an AK 47 with a hair trigger! Pulled it out barrel first.
