Remember, this number is a floor, not a ceiling. If someone gets shot by their dog and doesn't seek medical care, or it otherwise doesn't make the local news, nobody's going to know about it.
It's a bit of a misnomer to say a dog "shot someone." After all, dogs don't pick up firearms with the intent to shoot something. But they do end up inadvertently pulling a trigger from time to time.
