Rusted steel, 29 by 8 by height 19 in or 73 by 20 by height 48 cm.
The dog is not shaped in the third dimension, but there’s some depth since the dog is made from a 1 inch or 2.6 cm thick steel plate. This flatness is carried over in the dog’s ball, which is a disc not a sphere (in a little visual joke).
Then the real dog Porta checks out the new piece.
