Max's owner was working on the deck in their back yard and accidentally shot the pup in the head when he started acting too playful and got too close to the action. Fortunately, he was rushed off to the vet, who was able to remove the nail and keep the dog alive. Be sure to click the link to see the amazing photos of the X-rays and removed nail.

Ghoulishly neat, maybe?
What's sad is that the owner was so careless. Should be investigated and charged. Would have been way worse if it happened to a child.
Really?
Nail guns have safety switches on them.
You have to be deliberately pressing on something to fire the nail.
I don't buy it.
The dog got too playful and was accidentally shot? BS
That dog was shot on purpose.
But using a nail gun around energetic animals and or children is careless. If you wouldn't let them run around at a gun range, you shouldn't let them run around when you're using a nail gun.
Scenario for Genus Relativists above: the cruise ship sank, and you are in a lifeboat with a child and your very own pug, Mr Pugg. When you get hungry, who do you eat? Mr Pugg, or the child who is nothing to you?
You know, the more I think about this, the less I believe the guy's story.
felix, Mr Pugg's already made his decision who he's gonna eat. Just ask him.
I once had a boxer and they are the sweetest, dopiest things. It just kills me to see one in pain!
I am glad things worked out and he is okay!
You know, there is a reason why I make sure my bird is back in her cage when I'm cooking or whatever. It's a bird. It's dumb as rocks. It doesn't understand the dangerous we humans take for granted. If I submitted an article like "PET STARLING ACCIDENTALLY DEEP FRIED, LIVES TO SEE ANOTHER DAY

Well, there you have it, I come here for both. Curse you Alex, and your anti-oyster agenda. WE WANT OUR AMA!
[... ] If I submitted an article like "PET STARLING ACCIDENTALLY DEEP FRIED, LIVES TO SEE ANOTHER DAY" I'm pretty sure people would go ballistic (in a bad way). and with good reason!
So where are they?!? I want 'em here too!
(Actually I consider just about anything as being neat, but I am irked at the contention presented here at one time that "orama", rather than meaning a showcase of sorts, meant "everything that is not 'neat'")
There's no gore and puddles of blood here, and the dog survived a one-in-a-million freak accident. At first I said "Holy crap! WTF?!" and then I was happy to read that Max is recovering.
How come no one's mentioned that those were some damn good vets and staff that deserve a huge THANK-YOU for saving a dog from a horrific and usually fatal injury?
This guy had a million opportunities to give up and bury the dog between the incident and the trip to the vet. If he had done it on purpose, he would have taken the first one.
Also, this is neat in the same way that story about a guy with railroad spike in his skull was neat. THEY LIVED.
Next time use longer nails.
"Max’s owner was working on the deck in their back yard and accidentally shot the pup in the head when he started acting too playful and got too close to the action. "
I'm not sure I'm correct, and I know it's silly, but doesn't that imply that that Max's owner was the one being playful and getting to close?
