Here are my thoughts...summarized into points.
1. Killing a dog because of behavioral issues doesn't seem fair to me. I know you asked about training and other methods to end his issues, but did she do any of these? To me, it sounds like she didn't want to put in the time and effort to correct this or get a second opinion.
2. It sounds like it is too late, but if it isn't I suggest going to retrive the dog if you can, or having her take it to a no kill shelter. There are tons of people who would be willing to take a hurt dog and return him to his original way of life. Some people even dedicate their lives to rehabilitating and finding homes for these pets.
3. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I can't even imagine what I would be feeling. Sending lots of prayers and hugs your way. And don't shut dogs out of your life. It is hard when we lose them, so hard and tough. But one day you will find another dog who is right for you. They will make you happy and you will get so many years of joy. And then when you pass on one day and it is time for you to go, they will be waiting for you. You will meet with them again one day and feel their love again. Stay strong.
