Came home and found my dog got my box turtle from the tank. She's ok,walking around, does have a tooth hole in her shell, but, my dog scraped most of her shell away showing a pink shell. Just as hard as the shell. What can I do.

I doubt there's anything you can do, but i would take it to a vet, maybe antibiotics to keep it from getting infected. Is it just the shell markings gone or the entire shell?
she's actually fine. Still eating and dipping herself in the water. It was just her markings, no other damage.
