Shocking Turn of Events

Remember my story and photo about the goats that were brought in our neighborhood to eat the grass and bushes as a brush fire preventative measure?  Here's the photo I showed you of the goats.

This is right at the edge of a park with a children's playground and the place where Jeff takes the dogs if he's short on time and can't make it to the dog park.  Both dogs, but Cooper especially, love this park and they run like crazy dogs as fast as they can.  They get far more exercise here than they do at the dog park.  If you look closely, you can see that the goats are fenced in with temporary fencing and to make sure they don't get out, the fence is electrified.  Here's a photo.

If you look closely, the sign says, "Electrical Fence.  Don't Touch!"  That fence was put up right along the sidewalk that's at the edge of the park.  Where you see the grass is the park and there's a picnic table right there and a playground for kids behind that.  I definitely think there is a safety hazard there and poor Cooper found out the hard way.  He spotted a rabbit and he flew over that electrified fence.  He cleared it fine but then as he tried to get back, he was shocked.  He let out a lot of loud yelps and then started running along the fence and touched it two more times, crying each time  We could tell it was really hurting him.  Jeff and I both ran to try and help him and figure out what to do and how to get him out without him or us getting shocked.  We calmed him down and got him to follow us to the enclosure where the goats stay at night.  That part of the fence isn't electrified but it's a regular chain link fence so too tall for him to get over and the gates were locked with chains.  Quickly, I spotted a battery, like a car battery, with those jumper like cables attached and asked Jeff if he could safely disconnect it.  He was able to and he touched the fence with the back of his hand and it was no longer electrified.  We were able to get Cooper back over the fence that you see in the above photo.  I took the dogs to the car while Jeff hooked the battery back up.  We didn't want to be responsible for a 100 goats escaping into our neighborhood!  What an adventure and poor Cooper learned a tough lesson about running off and jumping over fences.  He seemed no worse for the wear but I was really scared when it happened.  I wasn't sure if it could've been fatal but Jeff said he didn't worry because they wouldn't have it electrified enough to kill their goats.  Ryan and Jacob were with us and they still haven't stopped talking about Cooper getting shocked.
