Getting sick from a dog dying is terrible, so you absolutely cannot use 'おかげで' here!\n❌ せいで: 'せいで' can be used for bad results, but the sentence says '悲しみの' (of sadness). To express an extreme emotion causing an unusual state, '悲しみのあまり' is the ultimate dramatic grammar!\n❌ 結果: '悲しみの結果' (as a result of sadness) is grammatically possible, but it lacks emotional depth. '〜あまり' specifically highlights the 'overflowing extreme emotion'.
