It doesn't sound as if the dog intentionally hurt the kid. It also seems that the kid had fair warning and was told not to approach the dog.
While I wouldn't bring my birds on a plane, I've had to tell people that they do bite and to be very careful not to get too close until they get to know them. Most people look at Conner's beak and realize that he can do a lot of damage, so they tend to listen. I also tell people to wait until he approaches them, because that's his way of socializing and introducing himself. If a stranger or kid decided to ignore my warnings, they will get bitten, and painfully so. So far, so good. Nothing has ever happened.
I agree that some animals who are considered support animals are getting through under the wire, and a poorly behaved animal on a plane can be a problem, but it seems here that everything was done correctly. The only people at fault are the kid's breeders, who haven't taught her to respect strange animals and warn her of the dangers.
