I would probably assume that the dog was a gun on the mantelpiece. (Unless I were writing the story myself, in which case the dog would be comic relief with only minor plot effects.) Anyway, if the dog is there and accidents along, and then is disposed of (in plot terms) and never heard from again, I might be a bit annoyed.
