Hmmm....wow....I've heard stories of people LIVING under power lines getting cancer or other health problems, but I don't know if just walking/playing there would be dangerous. If you called the electric company, do you think they'd be helpful on the subject?
Safe place to play?
Why yes, I am quite thread-starting happy as of late 
Anyway, there's a very nice grassy field about 2 minutes away from my house, that would be a perfect place for a dog to run around/play ball/play fetch in. I remember my friend and I used to take his Husky x German shepherd mix there all the time when he lived in the neighborhood. I was thinking that I could take my pup (when he comes home) there, because it's a wide open space and only a few dogs and their owners.
However, I noticed that overhead there are a lot of telephone/electric wires, and when I walk through the field, I always have a static, buzzing sound in my ear. I have also read in several articles about dogs being killed suddenly by stray electricity.
Am I worrying too much, as I have yet to hear of a dog getting hurt there, or is that just a plain old dangerous place to play for any dog? Thanks!
