Just saw the news and there was a story about a dog in Boston who got electrocuted where an old light had been.Apparently,it's the 4th time in 5 years it's happened.

This is a big issue down in Boston. There was a one-year old German Shepard that was electrocuted last year. He survived but he has nerve damage. The dog that died a few days ago was being walked by his 13 year old owner. The dog started convulsing and the boy went to see what was happening and the dog bit him and then died. I feel so bad for the little boy. I'd like to take Fenway on the train down to Boston to do the Freedom Trail but there's no way I'm bringing him down there. I'd be too afraid he'd get electrocuted.

The electric company in Boston was to fix all their exposed live wires, but obivously they missed one (and God knows how many more). They're getting bad press as well as they should.

Luckily no humans have been electrocuted...yet.
