Chow chow pup survives electric shock on Liverpool rail line


A dog "miraculously" survived an electric shock on a rail line and narrowly avoided being hit by a train.

The driver, who managed to brake just in time, got out and rescued the chow chow, whose thick fur was singed after she was badly burnt.

RSPCA inspector Vicki McDonald said the dog had "smelt strongly of burning and was bleeding from the mouth".

The chow chow also injured her leg in the incident at 08:20 GMT on Sunday near Liverpool Central station.

Ms McDonald said the dog's leg injury meant she could not bear weight on it, adding "it is miraculous she is alive".

The inspector said: "As she is a chow chow, her fur was so thick that we don't yet know if she has any other burn injuries, so she will be shaved at the vet's so they can check her over.

"She was so badly burnt though, her thick fur has been singed on her body. The poor dog must have been absolutely terrified.

"She was wearing a harness so is more than likely an owned dog who ran off while on a walk and we would love to reunite her with her family who could be desperately searching for her."

Can Dogs Eat Peanuts? How Many Peanuts Can My Dog Have?

  Can Dogs Eat Peanuts? How Many Peanuts Can My Dog Have? Everyone knows that dogs love peanut butter. Since peanut butter is made from peanuts, most of us assume that peanuts are safe for dogs, too. The answer is not quite that simple, however. When it comes to your dog’s health, not all peanuts and peanut butters are created equal. Peanuts are loaded with protein, vitamin B-6, vitamin E, niacin, and healthy fats. This means that peanuts and peanut butter offer your dogs a protein-rich snack that they can’t get enough of.
