1 A highly excitable pup that jumps at you is cute but an 18 lb pup can grow up to 80 lbs rather quickly. A full grown 80 lb Labrador Retriever habitually jumping at you is not.  Labradors should learn to cope and connect with other people and dogs. This breed is very social; they like to feel that they are not alone.
An average of 49 people are killed each year by lightning, based on data from 1985 to 2014. July is the peak month for lightning fatalities, based on data from 2006 to 2013. Not surprisingly, June is the second highest month and August comes in third place.
Can I get struck by lightning when I'm indoors? Over 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and over 100 of them die as a result of the strike. Lightning is a very dÂ­angerous force that, yes, can even reach you indoors if you're in contact with the telephone or plumbing. Â­If lightning strikes the phone line outside your house, the strike will travel to every phone on the line -- and potentially to you if you are holding the phone.
