Small beginning - does it fade away or grow?

This AP Report seems like the sort of thing that's buried in the paper on day 1, but has the potential to metastasize as a story.

A pit bull owned by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison 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.
