Dog Electrocuted in Walmart Parking Lot

A tragic incident occurred in a Knoxville Walmart parking lot, where a dog named Bandit was electrocuted after stepping into a puddle. Witnesses reported that the dog yelped and lost consciousness, despite attempts to revive him, leading to his death. The Knoxville Police Department was notified, and it was determined that the electrocution was likely caused by an infrastructure failure related to privately-owned lighting. The Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) confirmed their infrastructure was functioning properly and is collaborating with Walmart to address the issue. Both Walmart and the Young-Williams Animal Center expressed their condolences for the loss of the pet. An investigation is ongoing to ascertain the cause and responsibility for the incident.
