Lezlie Combs was walking her Siberian husky in the Iuka Park ravine in the University District when her dog began to jump and “scream.”
She rushed to aid her dog, only to be knocked back by a nasty shock.
The dog then fell over dead as a police officer arrived in response to the woman’s screams for help on Thursday evening.
Voltage apparently seeping from a city electrical conduit buried along Iuka Avenue near the Summit Street bridge electrocuted the husky and shocked Combs. She was not seriously injured...
The AEP employee found more than 200 volts of electrical current running through the ground where the husky died, the report said.
