how to handle a delicate relationship situation?

[JTRichardson]

soooo, ive had my dog for about three years now and i treat him like he's family.
inside dog, sleeps on the couch, you know the drill.

Ive been with this girl for a year now and i love her somethin crazy, but she is not a dog person. not that she minds the dog but she believes all animals belong outside and for a dog to get on furniture is an unforgivable sin.

its been fine up until this last weekend when on Saturday, she freaked out on my dog and started beating him with pillows (in a very angry manner from what i was told) for a reason she wont tell anyone.
i wasnt home when this situation happened so i let it go and gave it no more thought.

until yesterday morning.

i got a text after i got to work claiming my dog was a demon and that she was never coming back to my house until i did something about it.
come to find as she was leaving for work she saw him asleep in the chair and went to beating on him to get him off and he growled and snapped at her.

my dog has never acted like this towards anyone except her and im not sure how to handle this diplomatically.

first off she shoulda never laid a hand on my dog. he wasnt doin nothin but sleeping on a chair. ida bit her if she went to whoopin on me while i was asleep too.

i love my dog and i love her, but i dont want her beating on him and him snapping or acting aggressive is UNACCEPTABLE. (hes a pit bull mut, so.its a big no no)

shes so mad that i didnt go right home and beat him that she is currently being very cold towards me and untalkative.

i havent said much of anything to her since it happened in hopes of her calming down and realizing she may have been out of line.

dad says "dog was there before her, and he'll be there after her"

my question is how would you handle this while maintaining a level head and trying to be reasonable and accommodating?

is it really something worth ending a relationship over though?

the dog will always be glad when you get home......she needs to choose..you AND the dog..or the road...if she beats the dog..what's she guna do if ya have kids?....

The dog is just the beginning, what will be the next thing she doesn't like and you have to get rid of.

The relationship with the dog is unconditional, with her not so much.

In my opinion if she truly loved you, she would not beat on your dog. He was there first bottom line. I agree with your dad. Put your foot down, if it is meant to be she will come around, if not oh well. She aint the only doe in the woods.
