South Valley man's Chihuahua killed by large roaming dog

The owner of a small Chihuahua is upset after a large dog jumped his fence and mauled his dog to death.

At six months old, Paco's life was cut short. His owner, George Griego, said Paco normally stayed inside or out in the backyard, but on Sunday he wandered to the fenced-in front yard.

Griego said a large dog jumped over a four-foot tall chain link fence and grabbed Paco.

 "About five minutes later, he's coming back up and he's got my dog in his mouth," Griego explained.

KOB Eyewitness News 4 went to the owner of the dog's house, but a woman said the real owner of the dogs was out of town.

She also said the dog that bit Paco was at the dog pound.

Griego said responsible ownership means keeping your dogs on your own property.

It is unclear if the owner of the large dog faces any criminal charges.

50 mph winds cause destruction, power outages in Albuquerque

High wind became destructive Monday afternoon in some parts of Albuquerque.

A tree blew into a power line near Carlisle Boulevard and Lomas Boulevard NE just after 2:30 p.m. It was still smoking by the time our KOB crew got there but luckily, it had not sparked any big fires.

KOB spoke to the home owner who said she caught it just in time and call the fire department.

"I came into the backyard and hear popping noises and looked up and the wire was wrapped around the limb and it was on fire so I called 911," said home owner Eileen Parker.

PNM said they are expecting sporadic power outages and they have crews on standby.

The City of Albuquerque has issued a High Wind Notice through 10 a.m. Tuesday.

People with asthma or respiratory problems are encouraged to stay inside. For the latest on air quality, call 311.
