Unless they had a considerably different body or size, no he can't discern from normal dogs.
Can't see color or green spots.

Can't see colors as per B. 81, which is from what the power is made off.

He only discerns the relief of the assassin, so unless it has a considerably unique shape, he cannot discern it from a humanoid of the same type later on.
He can discern he has a ranged weapon of sorts, probably a crossbow by the shape of it.
Unless the Dave was deeply etched on the crossbow (and even then I'd require a heavy penalty roll to discern such minor detail) he cannot discern if its colored or painted.

Would camouflage work vs. Awareness?

I'd say it's possible, but would require penalized rolls or long tasks to do so.
It depends on the camo. Painted doesn't work because you're relying on contour for your waves to hit and get back to you, so image means nothing.
Leaves and whatnot might make it more difficult to be perceived but still noticeable.
Gotta remember most of camo, normally, is due to tricks to our eyes and vision capabilities and also how our brain identify colors, shapes and alike.
