PORTLAND (AP) — Henry Marcum has nothing but kind words for the dog that shot his 23-year-old son this weekend.

Marcum says his son, Matthew, was about to tie up a boat in Tillamook Bay when his dog jumped into the boat, setting off a 12-gauge shotgun.

The blast blew a hole in the aluminum boat before hitting Marcum. The 23-year-old was still recovering from injuries to his legs and buttocks at Portland’s Legacy Emanuel Hospital this morning.

Matthew Marcum says he isn’t upset with his 3-year-old Labrador, Drake.

Drake is a good dog and the shooting is “just one of those things.”
