There's one thing worse than putting your tongue on a cold metal pole...


In at least two known cases, canines marking favorite light poles along Minneapolis parkways got an unwelcome surprise.

In at least two known cases, canines have sustained electric shocks while urinating at the base of aging parkway light poles, where the wiring has deteriorated. The unlucky dogs let loose a stream of urine, completing an electrical circuit.

"I was walking my dog and she was sniffing near a light pole and she leaped in the air and yelped," reported Heidi Hamilton. She happens to be the city's deputy public works director.
