The owner of the dog electrocuted by a so-called underground "hot spot" is reviewing his legal options. More news from NY1.

Con Ed admits it was notified by the department of transportation seven years ago to turn off the power to a street lamp that was being removed from the location where the dog was shocked, but the order was never carried out.

The power company says the location was inspected less than a month ago and no stray voltage was found. Con Ed says it believes melting snow and salt from last week’s storm helped electrify the concrete on the sidewalk in front of a Con Ed substation where Danny Kapilian’s dog Barkis was electrocuted in Park Slope on Wednesday. The dog collapsed while walking along Third Street.
