First of all, I would NEVER advise anyone to put down a pet because of biting, that's incredibly inhumane. The only reason why I would ever advise anyone to put down a pet is because the pet is in intolerable pain that can't be cured and the pet is just suffering everyday. But besides that, never.
I have read about cat(might be the same for dogs, too) that they are very sensitive with their stomachs, meaning if someone touches their belly unexpectadly or quickly, chances are you will be bitten.
My cat, when she was only about 3 years old, she was sleeping, and I put my head by her stomach, and next thing you know she gets freaked out and I ended up with a black eye. Like the situation with your son, I blamed that on me. The cause of me getting bit wasn't my cat, it was me.
Another thing is that my cat does not like strangers, only her family. Anyone else, including the vet(it's a field day everytime we go to the vet), she will bite ANYONE who touches her or comes close to her. I don't think much of it since she doesn't do it to me. But I figure she just likes and is comfortable with her own family.
Your little doggy is cute, and I am sure she loves you.
