Guess the dog is sharing his roid needles....

Hope the kid is ok.

BIG SURPRISE the dog was a pit bull.

When did James Harrison test positive for roids?

Harrison clearly isn't on 'roids.
Men on roids can run 100 yards without nearly dying.

Thank you Dave. Even though that's innacurate, thank you for taking my side on this.

I think it was some sort of government conspiracy because he didn't visit the president

There's no story here other than the boy being bitten.

Sadly, these things happen. I think it speaks more to the poor judgment of the child's mother in letting the dog out of the pen with the kid nearby, than anything involving James Harrison himself. Caution should always be exercised with ANY dog when there's a child around, not just a pit bull -- ESPECIALLY if there's strangers in the house, like the mother of Harrison's child in this case. From what I read, she doesn't live there, so I can assume that the pit bull wasn't familiar with the child and assumed he was a threat (assuming that the child lives with the mother, since he's only 2 years old).

So there's more details; care to post the link?

You never know, with a high profile story (and in the area where it happened, it probably is big news) there could be a public outcry for the banning of pit bulls in that city/state.

[theFRANCHISE]

I got MY details from this story at [url="http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-steelers522,0,1893791.story"]The Baltimore Sun.[/url]

But, more details have surfaced in a [url="http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/sports/19538321/detail.html"]local Pittsburgh news[/url] report.

I hate hearing stuff like this about the breed. I love pit bulls and have never had a bad experiance with them, but don't think I would ever own one myself.

[neepo13]

Hopefully his kid makes a full recovery. There is a good chance he'll be afraid of dogs for the rest of his life though.

I've literally worked with a dozens of pit bulls (volunteered at a shelter when I was younger) and I had only positive experiences too. But I'm with you, I'd never get one either. Even if they wouldn't get me kicked out of my neighborhood, they just aren't my kind of dog.

Poor kid, I hope he recovers quickly.

i have owned and love pits for a long time. to many people get the wrong ideas about the dogs. they are very loyal dogs and brought up right are a great family dog. calling a breed of dog bad is like saying every black guy is a criminal because its in his blood. its the owners not the dogs just like its the parents fault their child our the way they are.

I don't have a Pit-Bull but I have a Bull-Terrier, so it's the same sort of family. And the dog's never growled at anyone, never mind bitten. And yet you get alot of people that will run to the other side of the road when they see it coming. You can't blame them with stories like this, though. It's a shame.

Edit: Apparently, in America my dog would be classed as a pit bull, so it looks like I do have a pit bull.

and his son gets attacked by his dog

Pit Bull's and toddler's do not go hand in hand. I'm truly sadden by this incident. I have heard of plenty of bad stories with these dogs but I'm not sure if it is the owner's or the dog. I'm sure that there are other breeds of dogs that have done the same thing but it seems that the Pit Bull bites are the ones reported the most. Let's face it, the Pit Bull has a bad reputation but I believe it is the owner's most of the time that is the problem. If you train and teach an animal to attack or be aggressive, then that is how the dog is going to act. I don't know, they may just see a baby as a toy since the child would be almost eye level to the dog. You just have to be extra careful with kids and dogs.

Update:

The outlook for James Harrison III, the two-year-old son of Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, is positive two days after he was attacked by his father
