Technically it depends. Tame wolves, which are sort of dogs, *can* die, but there are ways the player can prevent them from dying.

The scene in which a dog dies happens as the result of player choices, and not all players will see it. However, it is not obvious which choices will lead to this outcome. Discretion advised.

i guess if you choose to have any animal, they will eventually die of old age. however it's only of old age and all that happens is the grim reaper comes.

At the very beginning of the game when you are playing as Sarah, there is an implied death of a dog outside of her house. It's barking until you go next to the window, then there is a squeal of pain, and then silence.

Not in any of the initial games, but during FNAF Pizzeria Simulator, there is a dog death mentioned, and seen in an 8-bit style minigame if you play one of the arcade games necessary to obtain the Loremaster achievement.

If the wrong options are picked, the player character may be forced to fight and kill Scratch the dog. In Shadowheart's flashback cutscene, we also see a wolf get killed.
