Dog owners are speaking out against the egger who—in lieu of a noise complaint—has been bombing canines from a Park Slope condominium. At least three egg drops have occurred since December, prompting one patron of the dog run in J.J. Byrne Park to plan a counter-attack: “We should come out here with frozen milk bones and retaliate!” joked Annie Norman, who fears for her three-year-old Boxer, Chester. Others dispute whether the mad egger's anger is even justified.
Fourth Avenue's Novo Condominiums are backed right up against the dog-run that actually pre-dates the apartments. Not only did condo dwellers know what they were in for when they moved in, but a sign clearly states that the run is open until 10 p.m. (At least two of the eggings occurred earlier in the evening, closer to 8 p.m.) Noise equal to or exceeding the dogs' barking comes from a neighboring skate park where teens do kick flips and k-grinds 'til all hours, according to the Brooklyn Paper, so why not target them? “If you move into an apartment facing the park, get over it!” said Caitlin Quinn, whose canine companion is a nine-month-old Great Dane. “If it’s the noise, don’t move by the park!”
The culprit has yet to be identified, though the condominium board put up fliers and notified the police. So far the owners are taking the attacks in stride: “We’re in Park Slope, so at least you know they’re organic eggs,” said Norman.
