Christopher's father Mr. Boone killed the dog. He did it because he was mad at Mr.Shears for cheating with his wife so he took his anger out on Mrs.Shears dog. Mr.Boone seems to drink a lot with his friends so he may of been drunk or at one point in the book Christopher smelt a smell he never smelt before which may have been marijuana. He also has a bit of a temper so he might have been mad at the dog if it was barking a lot. Mrs.Shears and Mr.Boone may have got into a fight and they got really mad at each other so Mr.Boone killed the dog.
Evidence that shows that he killed Wellington is when Christopher saw Mrs.Shears and his dad hugging. That shows that they were close so Mr.Boone could go near the house which means he had access to the pitchfork in Mr.Shears garden. Also since they were close if they got into a fight that would give him motive to kill the dog. Mr.Boone is also a boiler repair man so that means that he was probably up in the middle of the night and could have been at the crime scene. Since Mr.Boone is also a drinker, he was probably drunk when he did it and especially after a late night shift of being a boiler repair man he probably had a few drinks.
Mr.Boone's wife and Mrs.Shears husband had an affair so Mr.Boone was really upset about that and then when Mrs.Shears and Mr.Boone had a fight it was the last straw. Mr.Boone was furious and sick of being treated badly by his friends and family so he killed Wellington. He also probably was drunk because he was trying to flush out his problems by drinking. Also he is always telling Christopher to stop doing detective work so this means that he killed Wellington and he knows Christopher will find out he killed Wellington because Christopher is really smart.
Mr.Boone is always drinking and always has late shifts because of his job. He also is the neighbor of Mrs.Shears and was always at her house because they were hooking up. Also he is always telling Christopher to stop doing detective work so this means that he could have killed Wellington and he knows Christopher will find out he killed Wellington because Christopher is really smart. Christopher doesn't listen though and keeps doing detective work and is always going outside to find people to ask about the murder. He then will ask Christopher where he was and then continues to drink with his friends.
Mr.Boone killed the dog because he was mad at the Shears family. This would have been preventable if Mrs.Boone didn't leave him for Mr.Shears. It also could have been preventable if him and Mrs.Shears didn't get together because then he would have never been mad at each other and Mr.Boone wouldn't have killed the dog.
You have worked hard to find evidence for your thesis… and for the most pat they work. However, you missed the red herring middle paragraph and your evidence is repeated in every paragraph. Try to make one clear point per paragraph and avoid saying the same thing over and over. :) I like some of your premises.
