Strange Animal Found in Elmendorf

While doing radio station research for the last post, I accidentally came across this. Local area cryptozoology is something I can't skip mentioning. Is there such a thing as a giant, hairless Chihuahua?

Chupacabra? Strange Animal Found in Elmendorf:

"First thing that came to my mind, is surely everybody's gonna think this is a chupacabra," he laughed. "But it's so odd because it has no hair."

At the nearby Deleon's Grocery and Market, customers come in to check out pictures of it. One woman says it is exactly how her grandmother described the dreaded chupacabra.

People at the San Antonio Zoo say they have not seen anything like it. Terry DeRosa with the zoo says at a feather-light 20 pounds, he thinks it might be a wild mexican dog.

"It may be one of the hairless dogs that perhaps you see in Mexico," he said.

Devin says he would like to know for sure. He says he is hoping someone can help identify it, possibly by DNA.
