The man was holding two of the shepherd-mix puppies when one of them wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the man's .38-caliber revolver, making it discharge.
Escambia County deputies say 37-year-old Jerry Bradford was shot in the wrist and was treated at an undisclosed hospital. To top it off, the sheriff's office issued an arrest warrant charging Bradford with felony animal cruelty.
He said he was shooting the 3-month-old pups because he couldn't find another home for them.
The remaining four puppies and their mother are safe now at the Escambia County Animal Shelter.
