My bad, sorry. You had it right from the get-go.
I've thought about your dad's gut sucking story and can imagine that this could very well happen:
1. Animal gets hit at the moment of full exhalation.
2. A quartering away shot into the abdomen sends the bullet through the diaphragm into the lungs.
3. Animal's first reaction is to think WTF then take a deep breath.
4. Stuff from the abdominal cavity gets drawn into the lungs.
edit: as to organ movement, I agree they move slightly in their immediate neighbourhood, all the while being suspended and encapsulated by conjunctive tissue (the white stuff).
