Personally, I would let her take the dog.

If you decide not to. Why? Not that you owe W an explanation. But why not? Remember you are detached. If she wants to try to rekindle a relationship with a dog, so be it.
I think showing that you care is counterproductive to your mission. Don't make it a "thing". Just my take.

If you decide not to let her take the dog for a few hours, I would take Steves advice.
