A dog was found shot through the chest with an arrow on pueblo land north of Española on Friday morning and died later on the operating table. 

Okhay Owingeh police are investigating but had no leads by late in the day. "It's really an unfortunate thing," said Police Chief Donovan Trujillo. "I don't recall ever having a case like this." 

Tula, a 3-year-old border collie, was brought to the Española Valley animal shelter by Paul Pedrazza, whose girlfriend owned the dog, about 8:30 a.m. The arrow protruded from either side of the dog's body.
