It looks like this could be something your dog vomited up since it is covered with some grass and wet (often this is how vomit can appear). It is tough to tell what this might be without being able to touch it/feel consistency. If it is soft I would be suspicious of stuffing of some sort or it could possibly be dry dog kibble that has swollen due to fluid in the stomach and then been thrown up. I would monitor her closely and if she is lethargic, vomiting continues, she has abdominal pain, then seek veterinary care.
