Greetings! Unfortunately, most dog walkers discover a danger, only sadly, when victimized. And so I wanted to inform you of StreetZaps.com. And so you are aware, I confer with Con Edison's Stray Voltage and Public Affairs Units and contribute to Wet Nose Guide and New York Dog Chat. Thank you.

WHY URBAN METAL ISN'T PRECIOUS- Blair Sorrel, Founder, www.StreetZaps.com

Of course, you want a worry-free walk year-round, so adopt this simple strategy:

EYEBALL THE BLOCK, AVOID A SHOCK.

Take just a few seconds to survey the immediate surroundings and make your trajectory toward a non-conductive surface, ie., plastic, wood, cardboard, rather than risking any metal or electrical fixture. The lowly, free-standing garbage bag, is you and your dog's best friend, most of the time, unless it's snowed and salted. Then you might contemplate indoor products. Consider the safer, hardware-free RopeNGo leash and harness to help shield against a possible zapping and for greater peace of mind.

CONTACT VOLTAGE DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE BY GENDER.

Your pooch's sex is irrelevant. True, the most gruesome scenario is that of a male dog electrocuted by its ys. Intuit your dog's cues, if resistant to an area, choose an alternative route. Elude potentially live work areas or carry your canine, if necessary. Opt for indoor products such as The Pet Loo, Hammacher Schlemmer's Indoor Restroom, or Wee-Wee Pads, if external conditions are ominous. Dog booties can leak and make your pooch even more vulnerable. Please view StreetZaps home and safety sections to identify common outdoor fixtures that may be potentially dangerous and utilize the report form to alert others and the local utility. Thank you.

Oprah, Have you ever considered a show about adoption for dogs? My husband and I adopted a retired racing greyhound in Feb,, 2004 and it was the best thing we ever did. Atlas became our furry kid and led a very happy life until his sudden death in Nov. 2007. Retired Greyhounds as Pets ( REGAP ), is a non-profit organization that takes in these hounds when the breeder no longer wants them for racing. Many breeders do not bother with this and simply kill them. If possible, we would like to see a show that discusses the topic of adopting dogs other than puppies from a pet store. Thanks and keep up the good work! Alice & Bill Mckas
