The first sentence is written correctly.

The girl likes her dog.

The second sentence is just incorrect because without the "a" you cannot know which is the subject and which is the object of the sentence.

La niña le gusta a su perro."

Her dog likes the girl.

A la niña le gusta su perro."

The girl likes her dog.

In Spanish the subject of the verb can either precede or follow the verb so the "a" is needed to tell which is the object in the Spanish sentence (the subject in the English sentence).
