Depends a little on what you want to do with the list :o)
If you need it quoted, something like:
for file in *foo*.dog ; do
echo "\"$file\""
done
might help you, but that'll still fail horribly if there are any embedded quotes
in the files. I see someone's already replied with the find ... -print0 method.
