Dogs/Snow/Stray Voltage danger


Recommended Posts

We had snow last week, and I just read a very sad story about a family who lost their dog to electrocution. While they were out walking the dog stepped on an electric plate and the salt on the sidewalk made the slush a better conductor for the stray voltage coming from a nearby streetlight. Other metal objects like manhole covers could be potential problems as well.

Here's some info. about stray voltage and pets:
