MANOR, Texas — The video above is related to a dog attack from 2017 that involved a 7-year-old boy.

A Manor man has been sentenced to three years in prison after his dogs attacked a 5-year-old boy on Easter Sunday in 2017.

On July 1, Travis County Judge Julie Kocurek sentenced Hector Guzman for negligently failing to secure his three dogs before an attack left the boy seriously injured, according to a press release from the office of the Travis County district attorney.

On the day of the attack, investigators said Guzman's three dogs dragged the victim for several feet by the arm before the boy's mother intervened. The boy was taken to a hospital where surgeons were able to save the his arm. But, as of 2019, the boy will continue to need medical care, the district attorney's office said.

The dogs were euthanized following the attack.

According to the press release, Guzman's dogs had a history of aggressive behavior in a different county and investigators found their behavior had escalated prior to moving to Del Valle.

"The defendant's disregard of his dogs' escalating behavior led to this preventable situation," the lead prosecutor on the case said. "The child who was mauled will have obstacles ahead of him relating to this incident, but he is bright, full of energy, and is surrounded by the endless love and support of his family."
