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.
