The incident happened in the 7800 block of Eastland Avenue near Lake Worth in Tarrant County.
The sheriff's department said an 18-month-old boy crawled through a pet door and managed to get into his family’s backyard while his parents were asleep.
There were four Boxers and several other dogs in the yard. They bit him around his head and face.

Neighbors said they ran to help after they heard screams. The boy was bloody and in pretty bad shape when he was taken by ground ambulance to Cook Children’s Medical Center, they said.
The sheriff's department does plan to take the four Boxers for observation.
Also, the boy's grandmother was detained for allegedly assaulting a neighbor who confronted her about her dogs' aggression. It is unclear if she faces any criminal charges.
