I think so, ticks can carry Lyme disease, rocky mountain spotted fever, and a few other real nasty things but I don't know how this would affect a dog but if you remove the tick, which should only be done with tweezers by grasping the head of the tick and nothing else, put it in a plastic bag with the date of removal then store it in a freezer until you can take it to the vet or doctor to verify if the tick is infected then decide the treatment for the animal. These are the procedures for people as well only don't take them to a vet.

Dogs can die from any ticks. Ticks carry disease and can cause tick paralysis. They are in the same family as Spiders (arachnids) and carry a type of venom that can cause the host to become unable to move and succumb to respiratory duress and die.
