Knoxville Police Department said the dog was walking through a puddle out a Walmart when it suddenly "yelped and lost consciousness."

The dog reportedly began yelping and "lost consciousness" after stepping through the water outside the Tennessee Knoxville store - with a witness outside reportedly running to help save the pup before

Neko Williams was walking his dog, King, near 19th and M Streets in the snow Monday evening when his pet suddenly collapsed. He said he could feel mild electrical shocks coming from the ground as he knelt to help his beloved boxer.

Ben Stearn says he saw a puppy on the sidewalk jumping up and down just before 4 p.m. Monday. At first, he thought the dog was bothered by salt on the street that road crews put down after the day’s snowstorm.
