That dog killer in the Fire Station yard was a large box at least 3 ft high by 6 ft long, the dog had a bucket of water tipped over it a steel chain round its neck then hooked onto a contact inside the box, lid closed and a large switch on the wall pressed. The whole thing buzzed, and the dog would thump around for a few seconds, then it was unhooked chain removed, then the dead dog would be chucked in a bin outside, which the council emptied once a week.
