while not impossible i would consider it a rare occurrence. You said you and the kid were tested. do you have the exact species of the strep? If you have your vet culture the dog and it comes back as positive for some strep it wont do much good if you cant differentiate is it could be completely different.

Mom is the more likely candidate for the carrier, and more chances of accidentally exposing kid to said bacteria (atleast i assume, dont let your dog prepare your kids food).
