Janice Jones, 53-year-old California citizen, was accidentally shot in the leg by a dog at 10 p.m. on Wednesday.
Jones was eating pork chops in her motor home when her dog, a pomeranian named Tombo, knocked down her 9 mm handgun. The gun went off when it hit the floor shooting Jones in the leg.
Jones was transported to the Huntington Beach Hospital and was later transported to the Irvine Medical Center.
A spokesperson for the Huntington Beach Hospital, Jim Washington confirmed that Jones was treated, but he gave no additional information.
Jones' dog, Tombo, was taken to the Huntington Beach Animal Control where Tombo was said to be malnourished and had fresh cigarette burns according to Janet Ngo, one of the animal control officers.
"It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops," Ngo said.
Additional charges for Jones, including ones for owning a gun without a permit and animal abuse, are being investigated.
