It could have been by accident. It's not like a dog woul think, "Oh hey look a little new born kitten. Lets go hurt it." The dog may have been trying to play with it or thought it was a new kind of toy.

Can a kitten be brought into a home with a dog?

Yes, kittens and dogs get along very well. I have two dogs and a cat. Please go to my bio page by clicking onto my name and you will see them. Put the dog on a leash in the house until the kitten investigates the house and the new owners. This should take approximately 1/2 hour. Then gently bring the dog over to the kitten. The kitten will hiss and arch it's back, but this is a normal instinct for them. Don't let the dog chase the kitten and keep a watchful eye on them. Pet the dog and then pet the kitten (putting the smell of the dog on the cat and then pet the dog putting the smell of the kitten on it.) No matter how large your dog is dogs generally learn very quickly that kittens are becoming a part of the family. Once you are fairly certain that the dog is gentle let the dog and kitten settle their differences. The kitten may get a crack or two with it's little nails into the nose of the dog and most of the time the dog will back off no matter how big they are. Before you know it they will be buddies.
