One thing I do close to this is refusing to walk on street grating. As a child I heard about someone and their dog getting electrocuted by one when a light post had bad lighting and I have seen so many videos of grating giving way because of street failures. ๐ Looking the story up, I can't find it (would have been a long time ago) but some people did talk about electricity in cities being a risk to puppers at least.
You may have heard about Jodie Lane's death in 2004. https://www.villagepreservation.org/2018/01/16/remembering-jodie-lane/ I was fortunate to have met her a few months before Con Ed killed her through negligence. Her dogs Miko and Riley survived (since passed from age), but her fiance Alex was never really himself again.
Thank you for that article. I am usually a pretty logical person, so I swore there had to be something to it, but my memory isn't what it used to be and I was willing to give I was misremembering.
It was such a horrific example of malfeasance.
