Aww: Baby Howls along with Dogs [Video]

To see who can be “louder and more ridiculous,” a Yellow Lab and Chocolate Lab regularly get into howling competitions with each other at their home in Virginia Beach, Va., according to their dog dad, Larry Woods.

And now the dueling duo has apparently become a trio.

In a video going viral, Woods’ 5-month-old son starts howling along with the two dogs.

“They do it so often that our son has decided to join the war,” wrote Woods in the description of the video he posted Monday on YouTube.

Here’s the video. So, who do you think won the competition?

Trigger the Chocolate Lab Shoots Hunting Dog Mom in Foot

A 10-year-old Chocolate Lab from Indiana couldn’t possibly have a more appropriate name.

On a hunting trip Saturday with his dog mom, Allie Carter, the Lab stepped on a shotgun, pressing the trigger and shooting Carter in the foot.

The dog’s name? That’s right, Trigger.

As Carter was hunting waterfowl in the Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area, she set a 12-gauge shotgun on the ground with its safety off, WANE reports.

It could have been much worse. Carter was taken to a local hospital and treated for a gunshot wound to her left foot and toes.

Carter, who is 25, apparently did not take the free hunter education course that is required of anyone applying for a hunting license in Indiana who born after Dec. 31, 1986, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources reported in a press release.

Conservation officers remind everyone that accidents like this do happen — even accidents caused by dogs who aren’t “ironically and aptly named Trigger.” To prevent them, they said to always point the muzzle of a firearm in a safe direction and use the safety mechanism.

Another way to prevent them might be by taking up a safer hobby for you and your dog.
