In my opinion a dog isn't very useful on a front vise. I'd add
spacers to the vise mount to drop its height, mortise the back jaw
into the bench, and add a mortised sleeve over the front jaw. Here's

Is that vise a Record 52-1/2?


Nope, it's a second rate Chinese clone from Harbor Freight. Works okay but
nothing special.
