Winter and the Possibility of Electrocution

I recently read an article where a beloved pet in Seattle was electrocuted when it walked on a lampost cover.  Pet Tragically Electrocuted  That dog's electrocution reminded me of another dog I had read about in New York a few years ago. Apparently there have been several deaths including some humans as well. Since Crawford lives in Manhattan and is spending his first winter there, I decided to include this link Stray Voltage  Most of us will not be affected by this but as winter arrives and the snow falls, the combination of melting snow and the salt that is put down on sidewalks makes for a possibly deadly outcome.  Please be careful when walking your dogs!
