Jonathan George, 31, of Norwalk, was charged with handling a firearm while intoxicated, cruelty to animals and discharging a weapon in a municipality, WJW reported.
Norwalk police Capt. Jim Fulton said a telephone call he received from George was “bizarre,” the television station reported. It concerned the man’s dog, Lula, a 4-year-old brindle boxer.
“Said his dog shot itself and he trained the dog to bring a gun to him,” Fulton told WJW. “The dog had the gun in its mouth when it went off accidentally. The officers didn’t believe that story.”
