Daniel Loredo, 30, of Ennis, Texas, was convicted of animal cruelty last April and placed on community supervision after his two-year sentence was suspended. He will be serving 45 days instead, along with a $2,000 fine.
The months-old pit bull puppy suffered a severe wound from the cord, which was left for so long it became embedded in its neck. The animal was eventually euthanized.
Three children saw the injured pit bull puppy and called the Ennis animal control officers, who then traced the animal back to Loredo and his wife, the Ellis County Press reported.
He was convicted of a felony, and agreed to a 730 day sentence in April 2015. But the sentence was suspended, and Loredo was placed on community supervision for five years instead.
In addition to paying a $2,000 fine, the 30-year-old will serve 45 days in jail. He is also banned from owning any animals.
The puppy, which was found with the cord cutting into its neck, was suffering from an infection and taken to the county's SPCA where it was euthanized.
In January of this year, a video was released showing a dog with a massively swollen head because the abused pit bull's nylon collar had been wound extremely tightly around its neck.
The animal, which was rescued in Sardinia, Italy, made a recovery despite the alarming injuries.
In December 2015, 19-year-old Tyson Kurkowski was accused of strangling to death his roommate's Beagle mix with an extension cord and then stuffing its poor body inside a suitcase and throwing it into a creek, KTXS reported.
