cynophilist 

A person who has a very deep love of dogs.

Usually a lover of all dogs in general, but may have a specific fondness of one breed in particular, often a result of positive experience of the breed at a young age, like in a film.

Dogs are great. I'm a total cynophilist.

cynoptimist 

A pessimist who is driven by hope. A paradoxical balance between being a skeptic and a utopian idealist. Wishfully wary. A guarded viewpoint with no tangible protection. Reckless yet cautious or reckless prudence. Circumspect with abandon.

He does not believe in God, but he hopes there is one, making him a cynoptimist about faith in a higher power.
