No, it doesn't.
Over-all, your answers lack context.
If your feelings towards dogs are neutral, then you shouldn't just answer "No", because as I said, in classic conversation, it is perceived as a dislike. Alone, it's a bluntly negative statement.
A truly neutral answer could have been, for instance:
"Not especially", "fairly", "moderatly", and so on...
"I dont like" / answering "no" is a bluntly
neutral statement.
The question involves simply asking if I
like. If, taking into consideration the meaning of the verb "like," I simply respond to whether my feelings for dogs fit the definition for the verb "to like", the answer is
no.

If we go with just the definitions of the words like and dislike, an absence of "like" for something
does not equal dislike.
And, as far as lacking context, if you had read the entirety of my post you would know the context, a discussion of which animal one
prefers , cats or dogs. In that context, on the subject of preference, to state that "I do not like dogs" speaks to the context. The topic of conversation is preference, I stated that I don't like dogs, which in this context means I don't prefer them.
Combine the cold, hard meanings of the words like and dislike with the context of the conversation on preference and you should get my meaning.
And by the way, people misuse words/definitions in classic conversation frequently, doesn't mean their right to do so. A fundamental misunderstanding for the meanings contained in words does not mean that the majority of people/classic conversation is correct.
