Tragedy in the news... R.I.P Smokey.

• Tragedy in the news... R.I.P Smokey. Stephanie Posted : 2/20/2007 6:16:03 PM I saw [linkhttp://www.nbc5.com/news/11056636/detail.html?dl=headlineclick]this story[/link] on my local news today.  That is truly heartbreaking and horrible!  Something must be done about this, especially since this is not the only incident where an innocent animal died due to shorted electrical wires in the pavement.  Poor Smokey, may he run free.  I know my Misty is at the bridge greeting him.  <333  [sm=angel.gif] LIKE 6 REPLIES 591 VIEWS LAST POST XEPH Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• spiritdogs Posted : 2/26/2007 9:10:43 AM It has happened several times in Boston in recent years, and the electric company has been trying to reduce the danger, but never walk your dogs in areas where there are grates.  I would rather transport my dog to the park in a vehicle than walk the sidewalks. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 2/26/2007 12:07:35 PM Is that a "back east" thing?  Having electrical wires so close to the surface of a sidewalk?  I don't think I've ever heard of it before.  How do people keep from getting electrocuted?   Joyce 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xeph Posted : 2/26/2007 4:57:50 PM I'd imagine that because people wear shoes, the rubber of the soles and leather/cloth deflects any electricity, as rubber is an insulator, and the latter two do not transfer electricity as readily.   With dogs, it's nothing but bare flesh, and the current is conducted through the blood stream, hence electrocution. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
