Last winter there were a number of incidences in Toronto of dogs stepping on manhole covers and getting electrocuted. A few dogs even died from this. Toronto Hydro went around checking hundreds of manhole covers for any chance of an electical charge. They replaced old covers and added new safety measures.
However, just this week another dog was electocuted while walking in the city's west end. Toronto Hydro is once again at work to make sure this doesn't happen to another pet.
It's difficult to say if all metal covers around the city are safe at this point, although many have been inspected. The recommendation is to walk around, and avoid stepping on these covers just to be safe.
