"According to my detectives, the dogs belonged to the (child's) grandparents," Chief Deputy James Saulter said. "The dogs were kept properly and have never done anything like this in the past."  

CareFlite airlifted the boy to Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, where he received emergency treatment. He is now recovering.

Following the attack, the dogs were placed in a licensed quarantine facility for evaluation and observation. Officials have not released the exact location of the incident.
