Two more dogs receive electric shocks on the streets of Boston.

Two dogs were shocked on the sidewalks in Boston in the past two days. The first one was out walking with his teenage owner yesterday when he yelped and fell to the ground. The dog was rushed to a Veteranary clinic but ended up dying. He was only 16 months old. Another dog received a shock today on a different street and fortunately seems to be alright. This is something that has happened in the past as well in Boston. It has something to do with electical wires or currents under the manhole covers. You can read more about this and find more details on the causes of these tragedies by going to the Boston Channel.com link listed here.

Apparently the snow and ice along with electrical currents under the ground are the cause for these happening. These incidents are something to keep in mind when walking your dog or something to mention to your dog walker. Try to keep your dog off of manhole covers whenever possible.
