They are all rated at several thousand volts, but it's not the voltage that kills you, it's the amperage. Static electrical discharges have much higher voltages than AC outlets but fractions of an amp of current.
It's not going to be good for the dog, but it's a far better outcome than shooting it. If you look at other similar incidents, it seems extremely likely that the dog would have been briefly incapacitated, but otherwise fine.
