The idea is to make the electricity make a complete circuit to the laptop and back.
Those holes where you can see the wires need to be repaired, if for no other reason than to avoid getting shocked.
If the holes are very small, and the wires don't appear to be damaged, you can wrap black electrician's tape tightly around it to fix the holes.
If you suspect the wires are damaged, you'll need to repair or replace the wire. Repair means cut the bad part out, and reconnect the ends, making sure you match the colors and that the wires are tightly twisted together and taped.
Might be worth it to just replace the wire if it's badly damaged.

My dog did the same thing to the power cord on my laptop and it destroyed my computer. Don't mess around, replace the chord.

I know it's a pain, but you are better off replacing the cord. I'm glad your dog is ok!
