No. Don't feed that stringy mess inside of a pumpkin to the dog.
If you really wanted to go to the trouble of cooking a real pumpkin, the part of it that is edible (to both people and dogs) is the thick orange "flesh"--the stuff underneath the skin. It's the part that you carve when you make a jack-o-lantern.
To cook it, you can bake or boil until soft. Then puree.
I eat the stringy stuff. I would say it's nutritionally equal to the flesh next to the skin, it just doesn't have that smooth texture. It tastes fine.
I also discovered that if I cook butternut squash in the same roaster pan with the chicken that my dogs love to eat the squash skin.
