It's normal for children to tease. It's not normal for them to bite! Clearly it's because of how he's being raised. In my opinion, a dog can never be a suitable parent to a little boy.

~ Grunion's most famous quote.
“
I'll be coming to your home tomorrow evening to conduct an investigation. If I discover that you are, in any way, an unfit parent... I will see to it Sherman is removed from your custody. Permanently. I hope I made myself clear?

~ Grunion threatening Peabody of having Sherman removed from his custody if an upcoming home inspection is deemed unfit for him.
Ms. Grunion is first introduced when Mr. Peabody is meeting with Principal Purdy about Sherman biting his devious classmate Penny Peterson (who became jealous of him for proving academically better than her) in the lunch room after she teases him nonstop, eventually restraining him in a chokehold. She walks out of an office in the side of the Principal's office and introduces herself to Peabody and she is a agent from the Bureau of Child Safety and Protection, Purdy explains to Peabody that he's required by law to contact Child Safety and Protection in case of any incidents. She is shown to have more power over the principal and is determined to have the adoption agency reclaim Sherman from Mr. Peabody. She doesn't acknowledge Penny's bullying, cruelly silenced Purdy, and blames Sherman's actions on Peabody being a dog, and warns him that she is coming to his home tomorrow evening to conduct an investigation, threatening to remove Sherman from his custody, if she discovers that he is in fact an unfit parent.
Grunion was mentioned when Penny asks Peabody if he was a great parent, then why she was going to take away Sherman, then, Sherman demands to know why Peabody didn't tell him that she was planning to take him away, and when Peabody said he was going to charm her.
Later, when she arrives at Peabody's house and tries to apprehend Sherman, Peabody tries to brainwash her but to no avail, although accidentally brainwashing the past Sherman instead, she is confronted by two Shermans and Peabodys, who are unable to adequately explain the bizarre situation, as Sherman and Mr. Peabody independently return to when they are already in the present. Mrs. Grunion immediately declares the home unfit and seizes both Shermans despite Penny's protests that she was at fault. This disrupts the space-time continuum when the copies touch each other and both Mr. Peabodys and Shermans merge. Now that her suspicions are confirmed, Mrs. Grunion pulls Sherman away again and Mr. Peabody, enraged at the sight of her hurting his son, momentarily reverts to instinct, snarls in rage, and bites her arm roughly in front of Penny and her parents.
Now with an excuse to call Animal Control and the New York Police Department to have Peabody euthanized as a dangerous animal, Mr. Peabody and Sherman flee in the WABAC. However, a time vortex appears and various historical figures and objects are pulled into the present, causing WABAC to crash and Mr. Peabody is about be taken away by animal control to euthanized him for assaulting Grunion. At this, Sherman protests, saying it's all his fault, and says he'd rather be a dog to be as good a person as Peabody. Moved by this, every historical figure agrees, along with Penny and her parents, and US Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Bill Clinton declare their support for Peabody's legal custody of Sherman.
Afterwards, Peabody and Sherman repair the time vortex, but Grunion proclaims that one day Mr. Peabody will make a wrong move and that then, she will get him. Agamemnon grabs her as he is taken back to his time, taking her as well, preventing any chances of Grunion getting revenge. In a post-credits scene, she is shown with a new nicer personality.
Personality[]
Ms. Grunion is a pompous, selfish, manipulative and untrustworthy woman. She does not care for Sherman's well being, as she actually wants to ruin Sherman and Mr. Peabody's lives by separating them and making them miserable. She even went as far as reporting Peabody with a false accusation and attempting to have him get executed by animal control after the latter rightfully bites her for roughly grabbing Sherman's arm.
