I searched the Qu'ran for "dog" and the only mention is 7:176, 18:18, and 18:22, none of these passages suggest that dogs are unclean. A Google search for "dogs koran" brings up this page: Dogs in Islam
Quote:
1. It is NOT haraam to own a dog, though it is not hygienic to keep a dog in the house.

2. It is NOT haraam to touch a dog or any other animal. If the saliva of a dog touches you or any part of your clothing, then it is required of you to wash the body part touched and the item of clothing touched by the dog’s mouth or snout.
Although most dogs are mostly snout and saliva.
