Forgot to mention, the site has pictures of it.
Looks like a mangy dog.
"I'm setting up a special line tonight only for evil, hairless dogs. West of the Rockies, you're on the air!"
I just rechecked this story and it was back in August of 2004 when this occurred. In fact it was even on this forum before, oops. Sorry.
Sheesh, love the headlines on the website:

LOL! Not all is what the tourist board makes it out to be in San Antone.
Hey, thanks for posting the chup's pictures, AND my fav pic of Art, that one slays me everytime.
Nothing runs like a Deere.
Sounds like Butch Rhino..
I used to live close to there, near Stinson Field. I am in a different locale now in central TX, and I once saw a really strange looking animal in my back yard, a few times, and finally decided that it was a hairless coyote. Really strange looking animal, looked almost like a small deer. I now have coyotes very often.
Exactly right.
Chupacabra ping!
Mexican sewer rat.
It's a fish!

"In the regions along the Paraná river in Southern Brazil, Northern Argentina, and Uruguay, capybaras are frequently captured and kept as pets, or occasionally hunted for food. The flesh is described as tasting like swine and has a whitish appearance similar to pork.
"Venezuelan farmers make a valuable addition to their incomes by selling capybara meat (approximately 400 tons annually). The rodents are rounded up in February so that they can be slaughtered and sold just before the onset of Lent, when the meat is in high demand.
"This popular custom is attributed to a curious theological decision by the Catholic Church. When European missionaries first met capybaras in South America during the 16th century, they wrote to Rome for guidance, saying "there is an animal here that is scaly but also hairy, and spends time in the water but occasionally comes on land; can we classify it as a fish?" The question was significant, as the Catholic faith then forbade eating meat (other than fish) during Lent, the period of abstinence lasting 40 days before Easter. Having a second-hand description of the animal, and not wanting the petitioners to turn away from Catholicism, the Church agreed and declared the capybara a FISH — a decision that was never reversed."
Doctrine is indeed amazing.
ROTFLMAO
These critters have to be parboiled in salt water. Drain and return to pot with fresh water, garlic and onions. Simmer for about 4 hours or till tender. Serve with beans and rice.
