"Don’t tell people to put their children on leashes and don’t call those children “human spawn.”"

WellActually, Pru, she called them "screaming spawn," which is different.

But anyway.

All four parties involved owe each other apologies.

The home-and-dog-owners ONLY owe apologies for blowing up and being jerks after the event itself, but if they want to be reasonable adults, they should apologize for that part.

The kid and the sister's girlfriend have the actual responsibility for Doing A Wrong Thing, ie, going into a private area of the home where they had been told not to go and then messing with the dog. *Both* of them should apologize.

I don't care who skips Christmas. Have some coal.
