Technically 私 is the topic there and 犬 is the subject. は is the topic marker and が is the subject marker. It's just that in English, "I" is the subject of the most natural equivalent.
Technically, the Japanese sentence says "As for me, dogs are liked." In this sentence, "dogs" is the subject of the sentence.
