Steeler Harrison’s pit bull attacks young son
49 minutes ago

(AP)—A pit bull owned by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison(notes) has reportedly attacked the player’s young son.

A spokesman for the Super Bowl champions told The Associated Press this is a personal matter for Harrison and the club won’t comment further.

An unidentified neighbor told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette one of the star player’s three dogs got loose Thursday and attacked the boy, James III. His age was not immediately available.

The newspaper and WTAE-TV say the boy was taken to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. The hospital declined comment. The newspaper says a second person was hurt.

Harrison is the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He declined to join the Steelers on a White House visit Thursday.

IMO, James Harrison is a force on the field, but has real character issues off of it. I hope his son has no lasting injuries from this attack.

While looking at the "Hot for Teacher" video....I ran across this one:

Heroic Pitbull (http://www.gnn.com/article/pitbull-honored-for-his-heroics/494796)

Is Harrison the player that was being interviewed the other day saying "if he wants to meet us at the White House, invite us in about 5 years when we've lost"?

Last weekend we were staying at Lake Whitney and someone's pitbull got loose from their campsite early in the morning(about 4:00 am). I was up because I was smoking a brisket, and, while standing at my pit I heard a chain rattle behind me. It was that damn pitbull ready to attack. I through rocks and what ever else I could find but the damn dog wouldn't back down. It is stupid to have an animal like this for a pet, especially with kids.

I guess the dog never bite anyone and it is a sweet dog.
That's what they all say. Anyone who has kids and pitbulls should have there head checked out.

Was there a doubt in anyone's mind that this was a pit bull before you opened the thread?
