The first one means the house has a bad smell that can be described as the smell of a house that might have a dog in it (wet fur, outside dirt smell, etc.). There might be a dog, but not necessarily. It is just to describe the smell.
The second sentence means the person actually thinks there are several dogs at the house because it smells like that.
That's what they mean to me.
