Harlem Pup Dead After ConEd Electrocution
For those who walk their dogs in the Marcus Garvey dog run, beware. Harlem resident and Post reporter Denise Buffa lost her Italian mastiff to electrocution from a ConEd lamppost on 5th Ave at 120th St this week.
Mushy, weighing in at 100 lbs, is no small guy. Once can easily imagine that if he could be electrocuted, so could any other dog, or child.
The loss of her dog is only made worse by the follow-up bungled buck passing between ConEd and city agencies. It seems that various people were able to confirm a voltage leak, but no one was able to resolve the issue.

OMG - that is so sad. It always takes some tragedy to get large agencies to step up and do their jobs. I hope that they fix that problem and that Denise gets some compensation for her emotional distress.

Why can't Con Edison fix this problem? It seems like it happens every few months.

it is sad, but Con Ed won't fix the problem until they begin to respect the neighborhood and that means that we need to GET RID OF THE PROJECTS so that we can be a REAL neighborhood worth respecting
