The dialogue sounds very natural and worked perfectly to move your plot along. It did not sound forced or fake at all. But, it's just a doctor warning your protagonist so I can't really get too in-depth about it. Perhaps if you have another story with a longer sequence of dialogue, like a lover's quarrel or a family dinner scene, that you would like me to critique I can give you more insight into the use of dialogue in your prose.

I assumed the dog was a symbol of something because Irish writers tend to fill their work with symbolism. lol. Tell me, do you have any good old fashioned Irish ghost stories?
