Mr. Boone killed Wellington no doubt about it, and here are a few clues as to why he is capable of such crime.
The first suspicion was where is Christopher's mother? She had passed away, which meant that Mr. Boone was living on his own with his thirteen year old son who has autism. Secondly, he had also found out that his wife and Mr. Shears had been having an affair with one another. Thirdly, his emotions that thrived him. For one, he was already depressed about the whole sitation and felt angry about the affair, this being said he commited the crime.
Mr. Shears had not been living with Mrs. Shears, she was living alone with Wellington, which was a red herring. Mr. Shears and Mrs. Shears had been split up and he had left her. Maybe after all this time, he came back in the middle of the night to kill Wellington in act of depression and revenge. This made sense since he knew where all the house and belongings were, including the tool shed which he could have had access to. If he came back, word would still get around or he would have told someone. This leads me back to thinking about Mr. Boone. Mr. Boone and Mrs. Shears both know that they have been cheated on with their partners being together. If Mr. Shears left her, he does not really have that much of emotion or reason to kill a dog, where as Mr. Boone found out that woman he loved cheated on him with his neighbor. So he probably wanted more revenge than Mr. Shears, killing Wellington would hurt him. Mr. Boone was also known to be awake at that time and drinking most of the time. Being intoxicated with so much going on in your life can lead to doing stupid and hateful things. When your body consumes alcohol you lose control of yourself not knowing what your capable of doing. This is how Mr. Boones killed Wellington, in the middle of the night drinking, thinking about all the horrible things in his life. Wellington was killed in act of revenge.
