"Even if the dog doesn't show any outward signs of aggression, sometimes they can be unpredictable," Salazar said. "So, it's best to always be vigilant when you're dealing with a small child and a dog like that."
The family found the boy's lifeless body in the backyard. He was taken to the hospital where he was declared dead, according to KSAT.
The dog was taken by animal control, according to WOAI.
