Like many of the posters in this thread, your friends need to lighten up. I don't like people bringing their children uninvited to my home, and I wouldn't like them bringing their pets uninvited, either. Mostly because my dog would try to eat them. The pets, that is. The kids would be fine, if well-behaved, but I can't stand ill-behaved children.
As an aside, maybe your friends' dog would be more welcome if the dog were properly groomed and bathed, and well-behaved. A dog that is jump-prone really wouldn't be welcome in my home. I wouldn't tolerate it from my dog, and I won't tolerate it from someone else's dog. Just like children, they need to be taught manners.
