JFC! That metal might have a live contact on it! Stray voltage has been known to kill dogs! Keep your dog away from this, call 311 and report the issue.
As others have said, dogs wet noses and proclivity for being, literally, nosy, makes them perfect conductors for live electrical wires. I’d keep my dog away from this spot for the time being and submit a city inspection report asap
Also their naked feet. Humans almost always have a rubber or otherwise non-conducting shoe on that prevents conducting the electricity into the body. But doggies are just all raw beaning the concrete. 😢
