My favourite animal is a dog. - it is correct. (favorite- Am. E.; favourite -Br. E.)
"dog " is a noun in a singular form and it needs an article.

As an American, I would say the answer in plural.

What is your favorite animal?

e.g. My favorite animals are cats. / Cats are my favorite animals.

Rockthevinyl, tell me, please, if singular is impossible to be used in this case? I really want to know.

Well in my opinion you could say My favourite animal is the cat and my favorite animals are cats. Is the first sentence correct? Is there a native speaker who could help ?
