Don't want to cause a scare as surely this must be a million-to-one accident but last night a dog was electrocuted when it touched a lamp post not far from where we live. Frightening thing was that another post was found to be live just nearby and both are next to our local primary school.

Poor dog and his owner - must be heartbroken.

That is truly tragic, I have heard of it happening before though, thankfully its very uncommon.

Tragic, thank god the owner and her child weren't injured too.

Gosh! I used to live round the corner from there! That park is very popular with both dog walkers and kids.

that poor dog- it souns as though he suffered a pretty painful death

Poor thing, but sadly I have also heard of this before.

my 1st dog was a greyhound only had him 24 hrs and we took him out for his 1st walk 10mins he was dead he cock his leg up a lampost and got electrocuted. very upsetting i was only 14 at the time

this same thing happened in Dundee a couple of year ago to an old dog.  (bitch)
