A poor pooch was electrocuted by a Con Edison-labeled live wire \u2014 just days after a New York\u00a0grandmother fell to her death through\u00a0<\/a>an open manhole managed by the utility giant, The Post has learned.<\/p>\n

The 3-year-old pup, Skylar, was being walked by her owner Wednesday along their regular path on East 76th Street, between First and Second Avenues, when she suddenly got zapped, the local dog mom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe yelped in pain and jumped and kept jumping so she could get off the metal [cellar doors],\u201d said the pup\u2019s owner, who asked to only be identified by her first name, Lindsay.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was almost as if she was getting shocked every time her feet hit those doors,\u201d the 35-year-old said, adding, \u201cI just scooped her off the ground completely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindsay said she raced Skylar back to their nearby home, where she breathlessly watched over her for the rest of the night.<\/p>\n
