Dog shoots, kills hunter

An overexcited dog accidentally shot and killed its owner on a goose-hunting trip in Texas, authorities said yesterday. Perry Price, 46, had just shot a goose and went back to his pickup truck to let his dog out to go find it in the brush.

He leaned over the bed of the truck and lay his shotgun down inside as he unhooked the tailgate, his hunting companion told investigators. "When the dog got to jumping around it went off," deputy Nacheal Bonin of the Chambers County Sheriff's Department said.
