My uncle heard his dog yelping in the backyard one afternoon. Dog was lying
on its back whimpering, peeing in the air, and twitching horribly. After a
while he seemed better, so my uncle decided that perhaps he was OK. An hour
or so later the same thing happened. This time he was nearer the chain link
fence around the yard. My uncle leaned against the fence to get down to
help the dog and got knocked on his rear. A quick look at the fence
revealed that the electric feed into the house had sagged onto the top of
the fence. Apparently there was enough contact or leakage to energize the
fence without blowing the fuse in the transformer. The dog never peed near
that fence again.
