I know someone who fled from Iraq. From where he came from, calling somebody a dog was one of the worst things you could call them because dogs were considered sub-human.
I mean it's rarely a compliment, even from people that like dogs. oh, blacks and wiggers. Carry on
In a lot of cultures, looking someone in the eye is very rude. Especially if they are your superior.
It is an insult in English too. As in "that game was a total dog". Same reason why bitch (a female dog) is also considered an insult.
