This dog should not be around children

Your in laws should keep him away from family entirely when they are over especially the kids. They deserve to not be in fear during the visit. Your IL are playing Russian roulette [/quote]

Do you think the dog would seriously hurt them? MIL says he wouldn’t actually hurt them-if he actually wanted to hurt them, he would have. Meaning they were just “warning” bites. [/quote]

By definition, warning bites then escalate to actual ones. The dog has bitten several times before. One day he will seriously injure a child and then they will get hit with a lawsuit, or if it's their grandchild, the family will implode.

This is what you or your husband must tell the in-laws. Your husband can appeal specifically to his father, who seems to preserve some rationality here, and tell him that the dog needs to go. Go as in, be euthanized or sent to a rescue or shelter with a full account of his biting history. If this does not happen, warn them that you will never go to their house again.
