The amount of people here who seem to think the dog actually shot the gun is insane.

I don't think anyone thinks the dog actually shot the gun. She was clearly weaving it around for some reason and accidentally pulled the trigger.

Even if the gun was loaded, and it had an incredibly light hair trigger (I don't think the actual type of gun is ever mentioned) I can't imagine a dog picking the gun up in its mouth would trigger it.
