I recently travelled toronto-puerto plata with my daughter and noone asked for any proof that I had permission to leave the country (canada or dom rep) with her.
The rule is that as long as the child enters and exits the country with the same people...no proof is required.
having said that, I would not take a chance travelling without the document.
we prepared a simple letter stating that I have permisison to travel with my daughter and the listed our passport information as verfication of who we are (myself, my daughters and my husbands).
my husband signed it, added a photocopy of his passport with proof of his signature and we had it all notarized (200 pesos).
it was a little pain to courier it but considering what hell they could put you through it was worth it to have it just in case.
enjoy your trip!
