LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say they have found a stranded dog at the base of the Organ Mountains and fear the dog's possible owner may be lost.

Dona Ana County Sheriff's Department said the dog was discovered Thursday after a woman called sheriff's investigators to report that she had heard incessant barking for the past three days.

According to sheriff's investigator Robyn Gojkovich, a rescue team reached the dog, described as a black male Labrador/pit bull mix, following an hour search.

Officials say the dog may have been hiking with his owner, who also might have gotten lost.

A mounted patrol is searching the area.
