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.
Police are investigating.
