Best keep hamsters away from dogs. They are prey animals and generally get stressed out from the presence of a dog or cat. Definitely no introducing face to face, it's dangerous - even if the dog is fine you can't really know how the hamster will react. Hamsters also won't get lonely, is she a Syrian? Even dwarfs live best alone and don't need or want company. They often will ignore chew toys so it's best to use things like cork tunnels, branches, items with different textures, provide deep bedding for burrowing etc.
