HOUSTON -- A tracking dog apparently stepped on a loaded shotgun in the bed of his owner's pickup truck, firing a fatal blast into the man's thigh during a goose hunt, officials said.

Perry Alvin Price III, 46, died Saturday at a hospital from severe blood loss from his femoral artery shortly after the accident in southeast Texas.

Chambers County sheriff's investigators said Price was hunting on a lease near Stowell, about 60 miles east of Houston, when he shot down a goose.

Price then set the gun in the back of his truck and was about to open the tailgate to release his tracking dog when the shotgun fired, investigators said. The blast penetrated the truck's tailgate before hitting Price.

Paw prints from the dog, a chocolate Labrador retriever named Arthur, were found on the muddy shotgun, Sheriff Joe LaRive said. Daniel Groberg, Price's hunting partner, said he tried to stop the bleeding with clothing before driving him to seek help.

"It's the strangest case that I've seen," LaRive said. "We couldn't talk to Perry and Groberg was at the front of the truck when he heard the shotgun blast and didn't see what happened."

Price's sister, Patricia Payne, said her brother was always very careful while hunting.

"His dog was so excited," she said. "He was jumping all around, because he was about to get out and go get that goose.

"That gun had to be knocked around just right to fire. I believe the dog knocked the safety off and hit the trigger, too," she said.

Wow, the dog is a hero for making this Darwin award winner go away.
Who in their right mind leaves a loaded weapon in the bed or on the floor of a vehicle?
An inbread brunclefied idiot, that's who.

The untold part of the story is that before firing the shotgun, the dog said, "Before I kill you, I want you to roll over a few times. Good boy. Now, sit. Sit! Staaaaaay."

i sure would like to borrow that dog.
i'll send him to the store with my girlfriend

i wonder if the man tried to save himself
like did he tie up his leg to stop the blood flow
lose a leg and live
or did he panic and just drive quick while bleeding out

the blast went thru the truck before it hit him
so the impact wasnt as great as it could have been

I remember reading a story a few years ago about a guy who was beating his dog with the butt end of a shotgun. Guess what happened?

True story.

The dog was fine.

If he had been shot in the head, he might have lived --- he wasn't really using that brain anyway.

yeah its the biggest artery you have, knick that and youll very quickly bleed to death. One of the few things I retained from anatomy in senior year

Sad yes.. but it also doesn't sound like the guy was the brightest bulb in the package..

A loaded dirty shotgun bouncing around in the back of a pickup with a dog jumping around beside it..... Smart!

Actually the largest is the aorta. Blood flows to the lower limbs via the aorta then common iliac then that splits to the internal and external iliac then external iliac becomes the femoral artery once it passes the inguinal ligament (which is found basically in that crease of the top of the thigh and bottom of the pelvis).

Cut just about any artery in the body and you will have problems because arteries have higher pressures compared to veins and every time the heart beats out comes gushing blood.

What's the difference between a chocolate lab and a black lab? Since they printed the dog does that mean his prints are now in the system??? I wonder if they interrogated him and played good cop, bad cop with him.
