Accidents do happen, and dogs (pets) can be as loved as any family member. However, the end of what you wrote is what I would base my decision on. Yes, they probably are upset over what happened, but if they don't care for their things, or appreciate what is done for/given to them, then I wouldn't spend more time, energy or resources on it.
Many of us have had the sad experience of hand made gifts being treated less than lovingly, or (just as bad for me!) put away "to keep them nice." I do tell the people I give quilts to, child or adult (or new moms) that I want them to use the quilt. That doesn't mean ABUSE it, though!
