A large Husky-type dog had to be destroyed last week after it was exposed to liquid propane, and suffered from frozen skin and lung damage. The dog was tied to a 1,000 LP tank at Mobile Estates in Glenwood City. Apparently the dog, along with the very soft soil that the tank was sitting on, was able to tip the tank on its side.
