Wheel Bearing keeps failing

What would make a wheel bearing go out? I've had my right rear one done 2 times in 3 years, and now, after about 7,000 miles, it's needing to be done again. The dealer told me it's just bad luck. I'm not sure I buy that.

Was the bearing race replaced as well, it should have been for the job to be done correctly? Has the rotor been tested, any abnormal tire wear? 7000 miles is too soon for another bearing failure.
