Yes, "моя собака съела его" is the new sentence.Also, shouldn't собакa be in accustive, or does a comma start all the cases over again?
Most of all neuter noun with o on the end are declined like this (окном, озером), but there are some exclusions, for example пальто, which has never declined.[/quote:1otf4ytr]As for утром, is the м some special case modifier or was утром just misspelled?
Собака isn't in the accusative because it isn't the direct object of the verb (i.e. it's not the recipient of the action of the verb).
утром is the instrumental of утро. Утром means in the morning.
утром - in the / during the morning ( утро = morning)
днём - in the / during the / by day ( день = day)
вечером - in the / during the evening ( вечер = evening)
ночью - in the / during the / by night ( ночь = night)
весной - in the / during the spring ( весна = spring)
летом - in the / during the summer ( лето = summer)
осенью - in the / during the autumn ( осень = autumn)
зимой - in the / during the winter ( зима = winter)
