First off, yes, this is just an excuse to post a local news report about a dog shooting his owner (from a boat!), but it DID AIR ON TV and is part of the beautiful art form that is television, sort of. Also, it is notable that the newscaster used this story as a warning about "gun safety" as if this freak scenario could possibly happen again. The only disappointing thing about this report is the unexpected lack of an "asking random bystanders what they think about a dog shooting his owner" element. Leaving that out is just bad local news reporting (via Buzzfeed):
