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
Thanks for the info. Apparently all of the tests have been for strep A

I'm a family physician and I have seen a case of dog to human transmission of strep and 2 cases of cat to human.
All of those likely were a human to animal transmission that the animal then reinfected the human. All were small child that likes to get in face of the animal.
In general kids get it more because they put everything in their mouth and they touch their face continuously. Adults who get it often are either loving on the child (mom), sharing food/drink, or they have the same nasty habits of children and touch their face too much.
