While it's true that we may choose to personify a pet, and use a personal 'a' to introduce a personified direct object, the dog in your sentence is the indirect object, introduced with the preposition 'a'.
Here is an example where a dog is the direct object, and personified.
Vi al perro, Gazpacho.
Here, the direct object is a dog that is not personified.
Vi el perro.
