A woman whose cocker spaniel was found dead in a Queens park is being grilled by cops over “inconsistencies” in her claim that two men mugged her and stole♚ the dog before it𒈔s demise, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
Lora Panossian, 29, says that she was walking 5-year-old Ginger in Crocheron Park in Bayside a꧑t about 10 p.m. Sunday when two men — who at first seemed “friendly” — suddenly punched her in the stomach and kidnapped the pooch.
Ginger’s remains were found submerജged in a pond Monday.
Now, cops are wondering♔ if there was any doggie mugging at all, sources said.
Panossian was found with d⛎og-bite marks on her arm, sources said, and there are no witnesses to the alleged abduction.
“She can’t describe her attackers, even though she claim🥀ed to us the men spoke to her and petted the dog,” a source said.
Panossian also failed to notify authorities of the incident untiಞl she got home, even though she had her cellphone on her, according to sources.
Panossian’s roomma📖te — who was interviewed by an animal-cruelty detective on Wednesday🦩 — told The Post that the police questioned her about her pal’s behavior.
“[The detective] asked me how Lora reacts to stress,” said Lamont Paung, 28, who respondꦍed that her roommate “definitely doesn’t handle stressful situations well.”
Ginger’🐬s body was plucked from the park’s Golden Pond, which is near the alleged abducti🎶on site.
A fisherman who made the discovery recalled parꦇks workers saying that Ginger’s head looked as if it “had been hit.”
Paung said authorities waited 𒊎until 🌜Tuesday to notify Panossian that Ginger was found dead.
In Panossian’s defense, Paung added that she’s always been an “anℱimal lover.”
Pan♐ossian did not return phone calls and e-🉐mails seeking comment.
