This is terrible and a tough situation to go through. That said, this sounds more like a person that doesn't want to accept that they may have been irresponsible and their dog/friend is gone because of it.
I know someone that thought their cat was killed by a car. They lost their shit and began blaming the driver. "So what was it? Drinking and driving? Not paying attention? Distracted because you were texting?" As sad as it was, all I could think was, "Well why didn't you keep your cat inside if you cared so much about them?" I get that accidents happen, but that's not a reason to blame others. She buried the cat only to have her cat show up at the house later in the day.
There use to be a cat that would be at my bus stop every morning when I left and every afternoon when I came back for years. Loved him to death. I ended up accidently hitting him with my car one night. I remember realizing what I hit, parking my car, and taking off running back up the road. A woman was already at the cat panicking. I said something along the lines of " Is he going to be okay?" She said she didn't know and "some asshole ran over him." I said "sorry but I'm that asshole. It was an accident."
The look she gave me and the blame that was placed on me absolutely killed me. I knew I couldn't avoid him. He apparently took off across the road and went right under my tire. I never saw him accept in my rear view flopping in the road. But they blamed me for running over my buddy.

That would be devastating
