An Investigation is Underway after a Dog is Electrocuted in a Walmart Parking Lot

An investigation is underway after a dog is electrocuted by a terminal in a Walmart parking lot.

Knoxville Police Officers responded to the Walmart on Clinton Highway yesterday (Monday) morning after a woman reported seeing the dog walk through a puddle and yelp.

The woman and others tried to resuscitate the dog, but KPD says those efforts were unsuccessful.

KPD says Knoxville Utilities Board is working with maintenance staff at Walmart to identify and resolve the issue.

Young-Williams Animal Center also responded to the scene.
