How terrible for Harley and you. I would imagine it was a poisonous spider.
There is nothing much here in New Zealand to create such a serious problem. We have one spider that can inflict a poisonous bite but they (Katipo) are few and found in restrictive areas and are very shy and are not an aggrressive or attacking animal unless provoked and cornered. We have wasps but I have not heard of any real serious consequences for dogs from wasp stings here. Our wasps are not the real aggressive kind found in some other countries.
