This is surprising to me as I'm not sure why the dog would be different from the bags.
I'm also a little surprised she (and you) relied only on what you gleaned from a phone call rather than following up on the ground. I'd probably have mentioned it to the agent when dropping the bags back off at a minimum, if not also at the gate prior to boarding.
