Ow! Saks shopper howls over dog bite

Joseph Curatolo’s excursion to the Saks Fifth Avenue in Midtown turned into a dog day afternoon when a shopper’s pooch bit his leg.

“I wasn’t going to a junkyard! I wasn’t walking through Central Park. I was on the sixth floor of the men’s department of f--king Saks Fifth Avenue!” Curatolo (right) told The Post.

The 54-pound assailant Wally (inset) belonged to a 57-year-old “Midtown guy” out with his wife, he said.

“I immediately said, ‘Your f--king dog just bit me, and I’m on blood thinners.’ I see my pants are ripped, and I see blood,” recalled Curatolo, 68, a financial adviser.

Wally’s owner responded, “Let me Venmo you the price of your pants,” while Saks staff got bandages, he said of the Sept. 10 incident.

The Bronx native who now lives upstate filed a report with the city Health Department, who he said replied: “We got your report, contacted the owner, no reports of rabies. You’re fine.”

Wally’s owner said Friday that it’s a lot of barking for what “wasn’t even a nip.”

“You are speaking about a dog that stands two feet tall. This is not ‘Cujo,’ ” he said.

Curatolo is “pondering” a lawsuit and won’t be shopping at Saks anytime soon.
