[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you’re asking about preserving your DD’s friendship while keeping her safe, but my heart just breaks for that poor dog. It would undoubtedly be a lovely animal with the proper training and adequate exercise (and it sounds like it’s getting neither). You said you aren’t really friends with the parents; do you know anyone who is? Someone should really talk with them about giving the dog up to a breed-specific rescue organization that can find it a proper home.

That being said, prepare for this to go poorly. For most people, pets are part of the family. You saying that you aren’t comfortable with the dog being there will be just like saying your DD can’t go to their house if her friend’s dangerous brother is there. [/quote]

thank you. yes i agree, as a person who loves dogs and has one too (she has long standing family member status, we dote on and love her so much), i hear you.

but i think anyone with a modicum of sensitivity wouldn't be surprised to hear kids aren't comfortable over there, nor are their parents. i haven't told you some of the stories i've heard, either. i just think they are a well meaning family but blissfully unaware of the caliber of animal they are sharing their home with. in the off chance she reads here too (seems unlikely... but??) I don't want to share too many details. trust me though, this dog and the family's resposnse to it are not confidence inspiring.

thanks for your comments.[/quote]
