Hard maple is an excellent flooring material but not THE best. For that you would go with rosewood, ipe, cherry, ebony etc.
I don't think bamboo would stand up to a dogs claws all that well myself, even if it is woven. Bamboo is not actually a wood at all but grass, so it depends on how it is manufactured and finished more than other types I think.
edit - looked up a bit of info, bamboo does score well on the hardness test, but in reality it is not as durable as something like oak even though they are similar in the test. Bamboo does not seem like an appropriate material if you have a dog.
