One other way to think about this - you shouldn't need to nest resources more then one level deep.
You only deal with children in relation to parents and dogs in relation to children. Separate relationships which can be handled transparently. Plus the links you have to generate get a lot more confusing - parents_childrens_dog_path( parent_id, child_id, dog_id) or some such...
