Dogs identify humans by their scent so you can't really say that it's offensive to them.

Do dogs like werewolves?

Well, that's like asking if cats and dogs hate each other. Some dogs can't stand werewolves, others fear them and others don't care. You have to remember that Dogs are descendants of wolves and werewolves has the scent of both wolf and human. Wolves were taken or they followed man and were tamed. Giving up their freedom to get free food and to help man. The human scent may confuse some dogs, the wolf scent may anger others, while other dogs don't mind the scent, were raised around them or the scent of human is a protective scent so they could care less about the wolf scent. It all depends on the dog. Now if the dog is a half wolf they won't like them because the human scent was hard drived in there genes to be feared and a strange wolf scent is to be eliminate (if not mating season (this also varies on what generation this half wolf is)), so mixing them together will make the half dog half wolf hate them. Wolves stay as far away from werewolves as they possibly can because of the above and also because the mixture of the two scents are confusing.
