I dont understand why people buy these dogs. I know every pitbull isn't violent but you are rolling the dice and don't know if the dog will snap until something like this happens. I don't feel bad for Harrison he knew what he bought when he brought that dog home.
My dog is a pet, not a weapon. If you want a weapon buy a gun, it is legal and you can control it. If you want a dog buy a Lab. James Harrison should be brought up on child endangerment charges he knew what that dog was capable of, that is the reason he bought it.
Steelers' Harrison's son bitten by his pit bull
Steelers' linebacker James Harrison's toddler son was injured yesterday evening when the family's dog became agitated and bit him. The boy, James Harrison III, was taken to Children's Hospital, where a friend of the family said he is in stable condition.
The boy's mother, Beth Tibbott, was also bitten when she intervened in the attack around 6 p.m. at the family's home in Franklin Park. The friend, who asked that her name not be used, said Ms. Tibbott has been released from UPMC Presbyterian Hospital.
Mr. Harrison, 31, the NFL defensive player of the year last season, could not be reached for comment. He was apparently notified of the attack yesterday and went home on a motorcycle, a neighbor said.
At the Harrisons' home on Matterhorn Drive, the family friend said that Mr. Harrison was at the gym in the late afternoon when she, Ms. Tibbott and the baby were outside in the yard, which is fenced.
"The baby wanted to see the dog," she said. "She [Ms. Tibbott] went to the cage and cleaned the dog's eyes. He was near the entrance of the cage and wanted to come out, and I told her, and she said the dog is fine with the baby.
"Then the baby started to cry and act like a baby, and the dog got on top of him."
She said the dog bit the baby at the top of the thigh and that Ms. Tibbott began screaming and threw herself on top of the baby.
