Your dog appears to be aluminum or white metal rather than cast iron. Have you tried a magnet on it to see if it is cast iron? I guess it is cast of lead.

The maker is Manoil. A dog like yours recently sold on eBay for $9.99 (1 bid). http://cgi.ebay.com/Manoil-Lead-Figure-Sitting-Hound-Dog-Happy-Farm-/200591601685

Some info on Manoil figures http://www.dekescollection.net/SS/manoil.html

and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manoil_Manufacturing_Co.
