"She *know* he a dog! She should have BIN left him alone!"
Personally, I prefer
"... BIN _done_ left him him alone"
with the extra-heavy stress on _BIN_ maintained and _done_ reduced to
approx. [d at n].
Probably only because I'm a half-century or so older than the speaker
and people don't speak the way that those of my generation and
original locality speak, anymore.
