If it is a compliment, I don't think it will be much, because as dog lovers, I believe they know that dogs are animals after all, and animality is indispensable. It is common that you can't control yourself, what's more, you are not his master, and biting can happen. You are a mad dog. In this case, I think dog lovers can only admit their bad luck and go to the hospital for rabies vaccination.
But if this dog lover is a derogatory term, it means those who love dogs on the surface, but once they are hurt by dogs or hurt their own interests, they immediately give up, and some even give up. Even a mad dog, such a dog lover can't stop being bitten. If the owner can be found, he must be compensated for all his losses. If I can't find him, I believe he will also post it online for publicity. It is even possible to take it out on the dog because he was bitten by the dog.
