Buy This Newspaper And We'll Kill This Dog
"My dog Mushy," Post Bronx Criminal Correspondent Denise Buffa reported yesterday, "a 100-pound Italian mastiff, died yesterday after an encounter with an electrified light pole - and I'm confronted with official bumbling and denials over what happened. ... How many dogs - or people - will die before the city and Con Ed make its electrical system safe?" Our deepest sympathies go out to Ms. Buffa, and we'd like some answers from Con Ed too, especially now that they've killed again. Extra points for going above and beyond the call of duty: We have a hard time believing that if our canine companion was in his death throes we'd be able to summon the whatnots to call a friend from work and say, "Hey, you wanna come take a picture of this?"
