I don't know of any dryers that have a pilot light. They have glow plugs which glow red hot before the gas valve is opened so that the gas will ignite. If the glow plug is not working it probably has a crack and needs to be replaced. The dryer will not start without it.

How do I relight the pilot light on my Whirlpool oven?
To relight the pilot light on your Whirlpool oven, locate the pilot light assembly near the burner. Turn the gas valve to the "off" position and wait for the gas to dissipate. Then, turn the gas valve to the "pilot" position and press the ignition button to light the pilot. Hold the button for a few seconds to ensure the pilot stays lit. Finally, turn the gas valve back to the "on" position and test the oven to ensure it is working properly.

Does ge gas dryer have a safety to turn off gass if power goes out?
Yes ….Your dryer, like many hot water heaters and gas ranges has a device called a "thermal coupler" This device relies on the heat from a pilot light to keep it on while there is power to the thermal relay. Now, If the thermal coupler fails or if the pilot light goes out, The relay shuts the gas off at the valve to prevent gas from filling the house. The difference between the range, heater and dryer is that the dryer has the safety built in to disable the gas for total power failure. The range and heater can still run with out electricity.
