Best story of the year:)
Puppy pulls Trigger on dog-killer
DAILY NEWS

They call him "Trigger."

A brave little puppy who knew he was next after watching his heartless owner shoot three of his six siblings in the head apparently decided e-ruff is e-ruff. The poky little pooch somehow managed to slip his paw on the trigger, blasting his would-be executioner in the wrist.

The tale of horror and vengeance unfolded Monday when, Florida authorities say, Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, of Pensacola decided to get rid of his dog's litter of seven puppies with the help of his .38-caliber revolver. One by one, he began shooting the three-month-old German shepherd-mixed cuties.

Bradford would later tell Escambia County deputies that he was holding one puppy in his left hand and another in his right arm when the one in the left "began to wiggle, placing its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber handgun, causing it to discharge into his left wrist," a sheriff's office statement read.

Bradford faces felony animal cruelty charges, a third-degree offense, after he recovers from his wound. As for Trigger, he won't be facing any charges. "No paw prints were taken off the weapon," Rova said, "and he's a juvenile, anyways."
