That dog didn't shoot anyone the negligent gun owner did.

Kristi Noem absolutely shitting bricks right now
That dog is in training to seek vengeance upon Kristi Noem on behalf of the entire canine species.
If only there had been a good dog with a gun.
- Round chambered
- safety disabled
- Gun not secured
A lot of things have to go wrong. Yes, it’s illegal to drive with a loaded firearm, but this is basic firearm safety.
The person hit was a passerby.
basic firearm safety.
which no one enforces or even checks.
Well that’s the thing I’m trying to say. It shouldn't need to be enforced or checked (but yes, i support legislation) any more than putting pants on before going outside. But clearly, it’s fairly common behaviour to ignore basic rules.

You get fined and put on a list if you go donaldducking around.
Saying that is a bit like expecting politicians won't be corrupt bcs of some decency & not because of consequences.
We pay taxes to get such things sorted out for us, so we don't have to assemble French street furniture every few years.
(But I'm not exactly saying I know how to police dog gun safety habits.)
How many other countries have "shot by babies" and "shot by animals" stats?
If the woman had had her own shotgun, this would never have happened.
Was the dog black?
it's important that dogs be armed. Only a good dog with a gun can stop Kristi Noem.
Its crazy how a dog can just buy a shotgun in the US with no background checks.
Let's be clear here: The dog was not the real cause. The human with the loaded and unsecured shotgun in their front seat was the cause.
And now the dog is probably deaf and has a gun phobia.
Most American thing I’ve ever read
I see, when it's a dog we use the active voice but when it's a white nationalist we use the passive voice.
No but on a more serious note, why are people who are this unsafe with guns allowed to be gun owners in the US? It's okay though because next time a good guy with a gun will be there to kill the dog before it kills someone.
I'm feeling so bad for the dog, it must be terrified
This is no time to get political. Lots of thoughts and prayers. Remember, guns don’t kill people, people kill people /s/
Guns don't kill people, dogs kill people.

I could not relax with a ready-to-fire shotgun rattling around in my vehicle. Negligent gun owner bigtime.
More like "Unqualified gun owners criminal neglect kills woman at convenience store."
She wasn't killed but your point stands: The headline, while obviously being clickbaity and maybe even trying to be funny hides the underlying problem:
Somehow, the dog had triggered the shotgun – which had a live round chambered – to fire, damaging the vehicle and striking a female passerby.
[...]
It is illegal in Nebraska to drive with a loaded shotgun in your vehicle.
Driving around locked, loaded and the safety off. The gun owner is a fucking idiot and should not be allowed to own firearms.
"Police responding to reports of a shotgun blast at a convenience store sounds like the opening of countless American crime movies[...]" No, it sounds like the beginning of a normal day in America.
Self defense?
No means no.
