Senior coroner for Gwent, Caroline Saunders, said Jack was attacked by a dog as he went inside.
Paramedics were called but Jack's injuries were " unsurvivable" and he was pronounced dead at 16:14 GMT after suffering severe injuries to his neck and head.
Jack was identified by photos provided to the mortuary manager, the hearing was told.
The inquest has been adjourned while further inquiries are made and it will be resumed at a later date.
BBC Wales was told The Dog had been kept at a home in Mountain Ash , Rhondda Cynon Taf, until Two Days prior to The Attack .
It was shot " several times" by firearms officers, a senior officer said.
The Dog is thought to have previously belonged to Lee Jenkins , 34, who voluntarily attended an interview with police soon after The Attack .
Mr Jenkins has denied ownership of Beast, saying: " I Am not the owner of That Dog . I told The Police everything I know. They know I have nothing to do with it.
" It's not my dog and it's since been re-homed from me. "
A neighbour of Mr Jenkins said Beast was used as a breeding stud. He is known to have fathered at least 10 puppies by Mr Jenkins' other dog, Beauty.
Jack's family said they were " absolutely heartbroken" by his death, adding that their lives would " never be the same".
In a statement, they said: " This is not something any parent should ever have to be writing. We have so many words we want to say about our Beautiful Boy , but they do not seem enough.
" We love him More Than words can describe. Our boy made us the proudest parents and family on The Planet .
" He was the sweetest of boys. He's forever in our hearts. Sweet Dreams Jack, our perfect boy. "
