A Guatemalan man who stabbed a Border Patrol dog in the neck was sentenced to six months in prison Tuesday, The Monitor reports.
Luis Gilberto Cruz Solis also will be deported.
Solis was with a group of about 30 people who illegally crossed the border in May, according to the Monitor.
As everyone dispersed, Solis was fleeing when he stabbed Dinie, a 2-year-old German shepherd, in the neck.
The wound was about 2 inches deep. Luckily, Dinie survived and returned to work soon after.
