don't know about your possible beastiality, but your beer should be fine.
just let it warm up to recommended fermentation temperature
and leave the poor dog alone

There's really no such thing as cooling your wort too fast. The challenge is usually to chill it more quickly or even get it down below 70*.
Pitching into 50*F wort won't hurt the yeast or the flavor IMO. If your yeast was significantly warmer, it may shock it into dormancy for a while and delay the start of active fermentation, but that's OK.
The one thing to NOT do is to try and artificially warm it up. Let it come around to about 65*F on its own and try to keep it there for the first week. When it gets there, give the fermenter a gentle swirl with the lid on to help re-suspend the yeast.

I wish I could cool my wort to 50. I don't even know if my water gets that cold. Maybe in the winter...
This...
The yeast will wake back up when the wort warms up.
Relax.
'cause Big Floyd covered it pretty well.
