Lots of dogs, especially those in houses with small children, likes to have a space of their own. Children can tire out dogs, and just like humans they sometimes like to have a bit of quiet time. Most of people use cages for this, but a room would suffice.Dogs aren't reptiles, they have strange and varied personalities. Some dogs hate what other dogs like.
she's not their daughter , she's some distant relative crashing at their place temporarily because she can't (won't?) find an apartment for herself
It sounds like they just straight up don't like her at all (particularly the thing about her making fun of the daughter's engagement ring). So yeah, in their eyes she probably was lesser in status than the dog. From the story it doesn't even sound like they invited her, it sounds like the woman's mother browbeat them into letting her kid stay at their place for free and now they're kind of passive-aggressive about it.

The cis part was wierd but more importantly I remember one similar case like 10 years ago. In that also a dad was alone with a baby and male bathroom didn't have a changing station but ladies did. That dad instead of just going in asked the manager about the situation and after argument went in ladies room to change the baby but yelled to the luckily empty bathroom what he was going do. That resulted a clean baby and the men's room getting a changing station within a month.r/AmItheAsshole - AITA for using the women’s bathroom to change my baby?

"Cisgender men aren't entitled to violate our space this way" they went too over the top on that one.
There's also other things that seem weird:
Imagine throwing your boyfriend under the bus for virtual asspats. Her father must be really proud, y'know maybe I can see why some dads run away from parental responsibilities
$50 says redditors would change their tune if they were treated the same way they treat human kids, lower than dogs. Human rights for me but not thee is their mantra.

The most infuriating part about that post is the fact they act like they did their daughter a favor. "I invaded two teen's privacy (and even outed one of them in the process) but I saved my daughters life!!Am I the asshole for going out of my way to stalk my daughter?

Well the cat’s out of the bag on this one, but it doesn’t matter because now I have justification to reinstate previous, more stringent cell phone rules.
My daughter is 16 and as most 16 year olds, she has her own phone with less parental control. But I still have sensible rules like no turning off iphone tracking, always answer my texts or calls immediately or within a reasonable time frame when not in school or practice, no dead battery excuses. But I know teenagers can be sneaky, so I have a backup tracking plan that I keep secret from her. I have an extra older version iphone on my family plan that I use as an emergency phone. I hide this phone somewhere in the car that I let my daughter drive, kept on silent. It’s always charged so I can track it when my daughter is out.
This past weekend, my daughter told me she was going to her friend Brett’s house to prepare for an academic competition and an oratory event. When I checked on her iphone and the secret iphone, the locations matched up. She was at her friend’s house. After dinner, I checked again. Curiously, her iphone’s location was at her friend’s house, but my secret iphone was clearly in downtown near all the bars and nightlife. I called my daughter and she told me everything was fine, including the car.
I drove to my car’s find iphone location to see if maybe it was wrong, and eventually found my car parked along the street near the LGBT night life area. I called Brett’s father (Brett’s parents are divorced and the dad does not live with Brett, and Brett’s mom had the night shift so I called the dad).
Before Brett’s dad got there, I walked around asking the bouncers at the bars if they had seen my daughter or her friend (I showed them photos). I finally talked to one who remembered turning away my daughter and Brett earlier in the night for trying to use fake IDs. I was livid. I wandered the area and eventually found my daughter and Brett hanging out at a coffee house. I waited for Brett’s dad to park before going in. I asked him what his understanding of the situation was, and he told me as far as his ex told him, the kids were supposed to be at home doing prep work for a oratory competition.
I told Brett’s dad where I was and he and I walked into the cafe together to retrieve our kids. After we returned home, my daughter confessed to trying to sneak into a gay club with Brett, who apparently is closeted to his parents and school. She was most upset that I outed Brett to his parents this way. But she has not given me any reason to trust her or her friend Brett given their behavior this weekend.
Stricter rules are on the way. She continues to think I am the biggest villain in her entire world but really, if I hadn’t installed an emergency phone in the car, I wouldn’t have known the shenanigans these two were up to under the guise of studying. Sure, I violated her and Brett’s privacy, but I feel it’s justified.

My wife literally had a cat room (for 2 cats) in her tiny 1000 SqFt house before we met. She had a bed room, a guest room, and then just an extra room, so she put cat stuff in it, and it was a cat room.

Before I was born my parents had a "dog room" in their house. The dog was a giant French Briard, so it was better to let him have his own room with his own doggie chair and toys than everywhere else in the house (which happened anyway)
There are two entangled but still separate issues here, an over controlling dad and a law braking daughter.Am I the asshole for going out of my way to stalk my daughter?

Parents like this is what's led to legal adults acting like children. You gotta give kids space to fuck up learn lessons.Am I the asshole for going out of my way to stalk my daughter?

I'm inclined to agree. The gay teen aspect seems especially calculated to pander to reddit's sympathies and make the dad in the story seem like a clueless boomer. It also seems unlikely the dad would be sharp enough to keep tabs on the daughter but fuck things in this way regardless. Then again Reddit seems to have a lot of devastatingly autistic middle aged IT types who unfortunately have kids because some slut wanted to get access to their techbux, so who knows.
