those things that do alarm, do they check it or let it go? either way "if someone wants to get something on a plane badly enough, it will get on". instead of villifying the screeners for having to do their job to the letter, i would focus more on the management that leads them. we may disagree on how they checked the dogs, but is anyone really saying that the dog(s) shouldn't be checked?
although it seems pretty silly, i've seen some people walk through with two of those lapdogs with studded dog collars. the individual set off the alarm and wondered why she was being picked on. i don't know what happened to the rest of that... but same as the OP. the look on the dogs faces were priceless!
