It depends on how attached your dog is to you; if he is deeply attached, then he will remember you for a long time. If not, like if he just met you, he probably won't! I expect this varies greatly depending on the breed. Some breeds become very attached to their human pack or leader. Other breeds seem to do just fine moving on to another setting as long as they are fed and petted.

That depends on the breed of dog and on training.

Because they are around them a lot. Dogs may have short term memory, but if they around someone a lot, they will remember them. They might also miss someone.

Why do I attract dogs?

You probably are working from observations with a Confirmation Bias (The tendency to search for, interpret, focus on and remember information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions). This means you remember dogs that are attracted to you more clearly than those that simply ignore you or are unwilling to come to you. Considering that there are usually many dogs around, a person who truly attracted dogs would be knee deep in dogs at any time of the day or night.

Scent is how dogs identify and remember people. If you have never met that dog nefore, he will take time to find out who you are; because the primary area of personal scent - at least to a dog - is the groin, that is generally where they focus.
