Former LSU lineman Matt Branch had his leg amputated after he was accidentally shot by his dog during a hunting trip in Mississippi, his friend recounted to The Clarion Ledger.
Micah Heckford tells The Clarion Ledger that he and several others were on an annual duck hunting trip near Eagle Lake when Matt Branch was accidentally hit by a blast from his shotgun, which was left loaded in the bed of a pickup truck.
Heckford says a Labrador, named Tito, jumped onto the truck bed and "stepped on the safety of Branch’s shotgun and pulled the trigger.
