I wouldn't recommend it. I would stick to shampoo specifically designed for dogs.

Dogs have different skin and hair to humans. Their skin has a higher pH than ours.
Some human soaps, especially if not diluted enough, can cause dry skin and itchiness in some dogs.

There might be some natural, chemical-free soap designed for humans which can be used on dogs without issue. But other than that, I personally wouldn't use human soap on my dog for the risk of dry skin and itching. Human soap won't harm your dog, but it may irritate them.

Please bear in mind that Pears soap is not "original". The recipe has been changed many times, so it may contain chemicals that aren't healthy. For example, in 2010 there was a backlash against the soap manufacturer because they contained chemicals such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, which is known to worsen some sensitive skin issues and a chemical called Linalool which can trigger eczema. They abandoned that soap recipe after massive amounts of complaints. The same company make another, more popular soap, called Dove.
