It baffles me that this person had to:

  1. Have their firearm and ammo in proximity without the intent to immediately discharge it
  2. Have their firearm LOADED in their own home without the intent to discharge it.
  3. "theoretically" leave it LOADED and unattended in their home long enough for "their dog" to discharge it.

Yeah this is absolutely the type of person who should not be allowed to handle firearms.

A reminder that a non zero amount of people get shot each year from leaving firearms loaded in the oven in the states.

This is the type of person that should not have a child, a car, and many other things. This is an irresponsible person with everything. The dog was in danger. The neighbors were in danger.
