[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL has a vicious dog.  [b]The dog has bitten numerous people,[/b] and I am not sure how she hasn't yet gotten sued.  The main reason for this viciousness is that it was badly abused as a puppy (before my SIL adopted the dog), and my SIL has not taken sufficient steps to train him out of this behavior. Even though she magically was able to find care for him during her 4 week trip around Europe, she brought him to my inlaws house where my two small toddlers were staying. The entire time [b]we were instructed to stay away from the dog[/b], especially since the dog does not growl or bark- just bites.  I had to watch my kids like a hawk to keep them away because they are too young to follow directions to stay away from the dog.  [b]The dog bit two other family members during its 3 day stay[/b], but thankfully nothing happened to my kids (see- watching like a hawk, above). My MIL never told me the dog would be there, and the dog has never been there before.  Is there any nice way to ask that the dog be left at home in a kennel next time?  I love dogs, but this one really needs help before it is left around small children. [/quote]

I don't think I would care much about being nice.  Your SIL has a dog that frequently bites people, and she is fully aware of that fact.  She and your MIL are willing to put other people in danger.  It doesn't even sound like the dog was crated or left outside during the day or contained in one part of the house.  I would make it clear that neither I nor my children would step foot in the same house with that dog.  [/quote]
