Just a thought how about sheet clear Perspex if you like the modern look or clear roof polycarbonate. Comes in different types, thickness.
As for a different approach. I would install a piece of clear plastic along the back. Safe for the dog and it keeps the modern open look. You want plastic that has a safety code.
