The part of dogs being impure (their saliva and when they are wet, for the most part) is in the teaching, you are right about that. However, we are allowed to give love to dogs too, especially since they are a useful animal in safeguarding your house and livestocks.
I would say the stigmatisation or avoidance of dogs among Muslim would come down to the fact that if one were to touch a dog, you would have to wash the part of your body/clothes that touched the dog with special steps called sertu (as oppose to just running with clean water).
God knows best when He commanded that and thats reason enough for most of the believers.
