That's a good question, I'm not really sure if any other animals can love.
Dogs will risk their lives for their owners on some occasions. A dog doesn't know the concept of love, but they do have certain feelings for masters that could be described as caring in some ways. Dogs are also a pack animal I think, and they could be obeying their instincts by protecting the ones that are part of their pack.
I think they could still love their owner, that's just one act out of quite a few that they could do with love perhaps.
For example: dogs do get lonely/sad when you leave them alone for a while usually, and when you return, they get excited. This isn't all dogs, but it happens with many and that could be considered loving behavior.
Is it normal to believe that my dog doesn't actually love me at all?

So I guess, maybe.

If a dog risking its life for its owner means it loves him/her, then wouldn't that mean a dog NOT doing this does not love its owner?
