If you actually wanted to just set the sound of the dog, and you don't really need a Dictionary, you can do:
myDog := Dog new sound: 'bark'
Or if you wanted to use the dictionary, same thing:
myDog := Dog new params: params.
But I don't really know what were you using that dictionary for and what was the intention (#params: is not a very nice name).
As Camillo said, (almost) everything is a message send, you just have to decide if you want a class message to create an 'initialized' dog all at once, or if using regular setters is enough.
Cheers!
