Someone could be targeting dogs in the south valley.

One man's dog died this week after it ate hot dogs dipped in anti-freeze.


There's no mistaking the sounds of the Laguintas neighborhood: rosters crowing, dogs barking and on Friday, workers with Bernalillo County Animal Control are going door to door trying to find out who would poison a dog.

"She didn't deserve it," said Nick Wahl, the dog owner. "She didn't deserve to go out like that."

Nick Wahl let his 10-year-old shepherd mix Bonnie out in his yard Tuesday night like he always does.

When the dog came back inside, something was wrong.

"When she started throwing up, she started throwing up hot dogs and we don't have hot dogs," Wahl said.

They rushed Bonnie to the vet, but it was too late.

Bonnie's kidneys shutdown and she died.

Wahl said he found a bucket by his property with hot dogs and antifreeze in it.

He believes someone planted it there.

This may have happened before. One neighbor claims another neighbor had their dog poisoned two years ago.

Action 7 News confirmed the county is looking into those claims and interviewing neighbors.

Wahl just wants to see those responsible caught.

"They made a concerted effort to conceal a trap and my dog fell for it," Wahl said.

He also wants to make sure no other families have to bare the pain of losing a pet.
