Oregon Man Shot by Dog During Hunting Trip

Henry Marcum has nothing but kind words for the dog that shot his 23-year-old son. Matthew Marcum was standing in Tillamook Bay at the start of duck-hunting trip when his dog jumped into the boat, setting off a 12-gauge shotgun. The blast blew a hole in the aluminum boat before hitting Marcum, who is recovering from injuries to his legs and buttocks. Henry says he's not angry with the dog, and neither is his son. He adds that the Labrador, Drake, is a good dog and the shooting is "just one of those things."
