agree  Jack Doughty: The English is weird though. "The Tom's dog" should just be "Tom's dog". "The Tom" could only refer to a tom (male) cat, as in "The ginger Tom from next door", and a cat is not likely to own a dog!

См. ниже.


Explanation:
Как всегда, - контекста жажду, судари мои и сударыни! Все правы, но так, как вопрос задан - почти словарно, как в разговорнике, - первого ответа вполне достаточно. Великий же и могучий русский язык "умеет много гитик". "Поморочимся", по меткому словцу Natalie Bearden?
"Собака Тома мне поперек горла"
"Эту Томову собаку я на дух не переношу!"
"Экая отвратная псина у Тома"
"Ну и собаченцию Том себе завел"
"Томова псина - полный кошмар, если кто меня спросит"...
Надо ли продолжать? Дорогие коллеги, ежели кто ответил строго по словарю первым, пусть означенное лицо и получает свои очки, давайте просто согласимся, что "Мне не нравится собака Тома".

Minye ne nravitsya sabaka Toma


Explanation:
In other words it can also be said as
Ya ne lublyu sabaku Toma.
nravitsya will be more apprpriate than
lublyu.
