Looks more like a slightly-overweight Xoloitzcuintli to me. I get kind of a kick out of people saying this is an “urban legend”. Cuero Texas might have legends… but they ain’t urban by a long shot. Still, to the 6500 or so residents of Cuero, best of luck becoming the “Chupacabra Capital of the World”. Hopefully, that will overcome the stigma — and bad jokes — about the town’s embarrasing iconic critter .

out of all the mythical, blood sucking creatures out there, the Chupacabra is almost certainly the sneakiest
