The phenomenon, caused by snow and ice combined with other determining factors, including not exactly flawless maintenance below the road surface due to uncontrollable accumulation of debris of various kinds, appears to be nothing new. In fact, as early as 2016, in the province of Lecco, he had knocked out two Schnauzers and it took them more than a few days to fully recover. What perhaps had never happened is that the same phenomenon, in these days of bad weather, in less than 48 hours caused three four-legged victims (including a tender puppy), between the provinces of Milan and Como. All the dead dogs were they were electrocuted while walking with their owners. Not to mention there is a room except for a miracle.
But how can it happen that a snowfall is fatal to our faithful friends? After the snowfall – as Corriere della Sera explained yesterday in the Milanese online edition – snow and ice, also thanks to the dispersed salt, form a “bridging effect” with the current cables in the manholes called ” wells “. This occurs naturally when there is a fault in the cabin, mostly ignored because it is also the result of the accumulation of dirt, which propagates a dispersion of electricity. In this situation, the snow comes into contact, acting as a conductor of electricity that spreads. And dogs, without shoes or boots, are the first to feel shocks that can be lethal to them. As happened on Monday afternoon in Bareggio, a city northwest of Milan. A girl was walking with her German shepherd when the dog, crossing a puddle, died instantly due to a failure in a well that, according to Enel, thanks to the “bridge” effect of the snow. fall, had caused the leakage of electricity. A few hours later in Como, an electrical discharge produced by the same phenomenon killed a Beagle puppy. The dog that passed through a water-filled utility pole manhole (two exposed wires will be found inside) died instantly. More water outside and the snow had widened the electrical dispersion to a nearby pool where the animal unfortunately met its tragic end. On Tuesday, two other cases photocopied in Cesano Boscone, west of the interior of Milan: a greyhound fell to the ground electrocuted. The other dog that was with him also felt bad but the owner – who also felt the fright but nothing was done – rescued him and saved him.
