Electric dogs 2
As noted before, Seattle has a problem with ungrounded metal streetlight poles. One dog was killed by the shock, and people then realized that dogs can detect and warn us of the alternating field from an ungrounded pole.
Now another dog has detected a ground fault in a pole that was thought to be fixed:
Unusual, maybe even unprecedented: The power company has immediately accepted the locally formed observation that dogs can detect the field. Bureaucrats and corporations normally reject and 'crazify' all observed facts, obeying only Accredited Experts and Official Myths.

Now another dog has detected a ground fault in a pole that was thought to be fixed:
A Seattle streetlight pole that workers believed was fixed for stray voltage was improperly installed, Seattle City Light said Tuesday, resulting in more stray voltage.
A dog detected the voltage from the metal streetlight pole, located at 23rd Avenue and East Marion, on April 4, the company said.
The dog and its owner were walking in the area, when the dog sniffed the pole. The dog was not injured. The owner reported the incident the next day.
Unusual, maybe even unprecedented: The power company has immediately accepted the locally formed observation that dogs can detect the field. Bureaucrats and corporations normally reject and 'crazify' all observed facts, obeying only Accredited Experts and Official Myths.
