NEW MEXICO -- Deputies arrested Adalberto Nunez Tuesday night at his South Valley home where they found his dog in bad shape.

The dog was rushed to a vet clinic where it later passed away.


Nuñez claimed his neighbor shot his dog, but deputies say the injuries stemmed from a dog fight.

Nuñez later admitted his dog had been hurt 16 hours earlier, but he didn’t have money for a vet.
