ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Is there a dog killer is on the loose?

An Albuquerque area family said someone poisoned their young dog and now they want to warn everyone about it.

Charlie was more than a dog to the Walters family, he was a form of therapy.

"I'm a gulf war veteran, and have been diagnosed with PTSD," said Thomas Walters.

Charlie was a good dog, Jeanette Walters said.

He protected their Corrales Heights home in Rio Rancho and he was friendly with the kids, she said.

"You know, he was only a year and a half old, and with what a good dog he was at a year and a half old, I can just imagine how great he would have been down the road with my kids," Jeanette said.

But her young kids Vince and Teri will not grow up with Charlie.
