In my opinion Mr. Boone killed wellington. The killing wasn't a mistake some had intended to kill the dog and cause pain to Mrs. Shears. All evidence leads to Mr. Shears, they have indirect connection but Mr. shears was responsible of the massacre of Wellington.
Mrs. Alexander tells us how "[Mrs. Boone], before she died, was very good friends with Mr. Shears." This tells us how they had a romantic affair. Mr. Boone might have found out and decided to cut Mrs. Boone off, in terms of pretending that she was dead to "protect Chris". After the death of Mrs. Boone Chris tells us how "[ his] Father said that he didn't know what kind of heart attack she had and now wasn't the moment to be asking questions like that". This helps contribute to the fact that his wife is not dead. He tried to cover up but instead he was unable to answer questions that he should have know. Siobhan says "Perhaps your father just doesn't like Mr. Shears very much." This is a clue showing us how she knows something. She might have know about the affair. For all we know the whole town could know and deciding to hid this.
People might argue that Mr. Shears killed Wellington, but if we think about this logically it would be very unlikely for this to happen. Wellington would need to be comfortable with the killer considering that he was killed in the yard. Some one might have lured him in, Mr. Shears hasn't seen Wellington in two years. This tells us how he probably doesn't care about the dog in the sense that it isn't important to him. This might be why he didn't take the dog when he left Mr. Shears. If he didn't take the dog and he left Mrs. Shears then why would he be interested in coming back to his ex wives house to kill her dog...? He is probably happy with his own family and moved away from the town. Putting this in to perspective I don't think it would make sense if Mr. Shears killed the dog.
