NEWTON, Mass.—A dog has been electrocuted after touching a live wire during a walk in the woods with its owner in Newton.
State police said a woman was walking her two dogs off Hammond Park Parkway on Thursday when both animals came in contact with the downed wire.
One of the dogs, a male black Labrador, was killed. The other dog received a shock as did the woman, who refused medical attention.
