Yes, unless the other dog has an owner and the owner said that it was his fault. If its a stray dog just take it to the vet and tell them what happened, you shouldn't get in trouble unless the other dog has an owner and decides to press charges against you.

this all depends on where it happened. If your dog was on its own property leased or fenced in and the other dog was unleashed and coming on to your property and kills your dog the owner of the other dog is definitely responsible. If your dog got loose and wandered on to the other property you are responsible. If this happened in the street then which ever dog was off-leash the owner of that dog is fully responsible. That is why it is sad when a person does not have control of their animal.
