Dogs Electrocuted in North Miami, Couple Blames FPL NORTH MIAMI, Fla. – A North Miami couple is heartbroken after their two dogs were electrocuted in their backyard. The couple says Florida Power & Light (FPL) is to blame. “We’re devastated,” said the wife, who asked not to be identified. “Our dogs were like our children.” The couple’s dogs, a 2-year-old husky named Odin and a 7-year-old golden retriever named Murphy, were found dead in the backyard on Thursday morning. The couple immediately called FPL, who sent out a crew to investigate. The crew found that a downed power line had come into contact with a metal fence in the backyard. The fence was then electrified, causing the dogs to be electrocuted when they touched it. The couple says FPL knew about the downed power line, but did not respond in a timely manner. “We called FPL multiple times, but they kept telling us they were too busy,” said the husband. “By the time they finally sent out a crew, it was too late.” FPL has apologized for the incident, but the couple says that’s not enough. “We want answers,” said the wife. “We want to know why our dogs had to die.” The couple has filed a lawsuit against FPL, seeking damages for the loss of their pets and for their own emotional distress. FPL has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
