Barking is no yolk in Brooklyn.
Petrified pooches and their owners have been walking on eggshells — and ducking them too — in the past month at a Park Slope dog run.
Pet owners say an angry tenant in a luxury condominium next to Washington Park has been hurling eggs at clamorous canines that use the Fido-friendly exercise area in the evening.
“Before I knew it — ‘whack’ on my shoulder and ‘splat’ on the ground,” said Ilene Cohen, 55, who was hit by an egg three weeks ago. “I looked up, but I didn’t see anybody. They’re not going to stand there waving at me and say, ‘I’m the jerk who threw it.’ ”
Cohen regularly brings her black Labrador, Ace, to the dog run, which is open 24 hours a day. She said her dog wasn’t making any noise but other pooches around her were barking, apparently infuriating the egg-slinger.
Kimberly Maier, the executive director of the Old Stone House, a historic center inside the recently renovated park, said Cohen’s egging was the second of three aerial assaults, which were first reported by the Web site Brownstoner.com.
“It’s not a group of people doing it. It’s probably one person,” Maier said. “[The eggs] seem to come from the same trajectory.”
The condominium board notified the local police precinct and put up flyers about the incidents, Maier said.
A message left with the condominium’s management company was not returned.
The 12-story luxury building known as Novo 343 opened less than two years ago. The dog run opened at the same time.
