Does your fiancee have any explaination as to why your MIL thinks you abuse the dog? I'd ask her first, and if there isn't a good reason, then I'd politely talk to the MIL about it. Tell her that you are concerned that she thinks that you would do anything to hurt the dog (and thus your fiancee) and that you want to be sure that there isn't any misunderstanding that could hurt your fiancee or her family.
As far as the jobs, yeah, that's how it is now. I applied to several jobs in my area, and didn't get a lot (well, any) of call backs. It's funny how they want you to be on time, responsible, etc, but they think nothing of blowing off an applicant. I finally landed a good job at a box store by taking the bull by the horns and showing up in person at the employment agency that was handling their account. This was after submitting an application and hearing nothing back.
Lastly, for some possible insight.....my mom has always been amused how when my father started dating her, that my grandpa would walk out the back door when dad was coming in the front. Even after they married, grandpa was evasive. It took a couple years for him to finally accept that his daughter was married. Now they are practically best friends.
