The fish is fine. Its not like sea lions are venomous or have mouths like komodo dragons. Any bacteria transferred from the dogs mouth to the fish is at the sight of the bite and will stop growing, or greatly slow down under refrigeration. And will certainly be killed by cooking.

Fish are covered in bacteria. That's why fin cuts n stabs to your hands get so nasty. A gaff penetrating the fish will move bacteria from the skin in to the meat. A fillet knife does the same thing. Enjoy your fish. Mike.
