Attorney Mark Bernstein told the Associated Press the amount awarded Tuesday to Constantine was an "enormously symbolic statement" against irresponsible dog owners.
It all unfolded on October 2, 2014. Constantine was attacked by the pack of dogs around 10:00 that night. Neighbors called police to report the attack and said the man was laying on the ground and surrounded by the pack of dogs.
The victim who could barely speak when officer arrived had his hands and feet nearly chewed off by at least 7 dogs. When medics arrived, the attack was still happening but they were powerless to stop it until police arrived.
Police shot some of the dogs and killed two at the scene. The others scattered and took shelter in a nearby home, owned by Felton. He returned home at the time of the attack and he was arrested.
Earlier this month, he was charged with three counts of harboring a dangerous animal causing serious injury. He faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
Constantine lost an arm and a foot and his injuries will require roughly 35 surgeries before he can recover.
