Two dogs were electrocuted as they stepped on manhole covers Sunday morning on the Near North Side, Chicago police said.
Around 11:45 a.m., a woman called police to report that her dog was electrocuted while walking over a manhole cover in the 600 block of North Dearborn Street, police said. The dog was taken to a vet and was listed in good condition.
About two hours later, another call came in reporting a dog was electrocuted in the same block, though the condition of the second dog wasn't known, police said. ComEd and the city utility crews responded and declared the area safe.
