Not sure this will be any good/efficient but you can directly get the depth for each pixel in the depth image via something like this. (xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax) provide you with all the UV coordinates you need to look for the depth of. There must be a better way, but this would work, and you wouldn't really need the pointcloud even.
I can see this would only really work if you're looking for how near the dog is, though, more than how far.
Moreover you could check out q315362, where we were discussing ways of having a pose on the found object, which effectively also gives you the distance of the dog from the camera frame.
