Why didn't they delay outgoing traffic? Retrieving this dog may only have taken a half hour if, like you suggested Catherine, someone had tried coercion involving treats, and a calm person who knew dogs!
Why didn't they put incoming flights into holding patterns? Understandably any incoming aircraft may be low on fuel, so there might have been limited times this could be done for with some flights. And it would have made more work for air traffic control.

Obviously some passengers may have missed connections. But that really isn't the end of the world is it? I have missed many train connections, arrived late, and am still alive and eating food!!
It is very sad. Poor dog.
Not all veterinarians would have a tranquiliser gun, but I am sorry more 'stops weren't pulled out' for this dog.
Bless him and I hope he is happy where he has gone. There he can really run free.
But nevertheless this is a very upsetting thing to happen. Yet another example of (some) humans putting their madcap schedules and plans and financial interests before things which really matter, and especially the welfare of animals.
