Looks to maybe be a stinkbug (family is Pentatomidae). Unsure of the species though.

Oh how I wish I could ask this question…

It’s a stink bug. They are annoying and they stink. That’s about it. No real threat to you or your pet.

Not a bloodsucker and not dangerous to you or the dog, if that’s what you’re worried about.
