The first rule for avoiding conflicts is to never call a person’s pet ‘stupid’ or assume that they are not as important as any other family members. Pets are family. Every owner also has rules for how they want their animals to be treated – if they allow them to go out without a leash, if they want strangers to pet them or if they let their dogs be fed from the table during dinner.
One Reddit user shared his story online after his mother-in-law ignored his instructions to not let his dog outside without a leash. The dog ran away, got seriously injured, the in-laws didn’t even apologize, didn’t help search and the whole situation ended in them simply getting kicked out of the man’s home.
