1. A large dog who jumps up on somebody can hurt them even if they're just being friendly! If your dog is big enough to lick somebody in the face then it's big enough to knock that person down. It's even more imperative than usual that you teach your dog manners.
2. I'll be the first to say that children should be taught not to run past unfamiliar and unrestrained dogs, especially if those dogs are big enough to seriously harm them, precisely because so many people do not train their dogs.
However, the fault here is with the dog owner for neither training nor restraining nor muzzling his animal.
As for Grandma and Grandpa, they've chosen sides, and the side they've chosen is Brother's.
