The dogs are normally kept in the passengers lap (smaller dogs of course) and I have never witnessed a problem with the animals.

A Delta Airlines flight had to return to the gate when a passenger was bitten in the face by a "Comfort Dog" on a flight... 28 stitches.

I also know of an American Airlines flight where a Flight Attendant was bitten by a "comfort dog" that was sitting on a passenger's lap (aisle seat) while bending over to serve the occupant of the inside seat.
