Chubacabra or Not Chubcacabra

It would appear that every year that some hapless Texan captures a mexican hairless dog and equates it to being a Chubacabra. Last year the KC Star reported the capture of chubacabra - that sucked the blood dry of a bunch of chickens and now this year Yahoo is pimping this news item that they stole from CNN. It's a flippin canine people, large but dead and baked in South Texas. Chubacabras don't exist, they are myth like Bigfoot. I have no idea why a media outlet would run a story without verification, oh yeah - they no longer do journalism they read the internet.
