Not that this helps with Universe, but I would usually phrase that
query in Unidata as 

SELECT FILE WITH NOT(MULTIVALUE.ATTB = "DOG")

"NOT" does something quite different from NE, #, in that it
examines the entire attribute and rejects any matches found.
(NE, # examines the entire attribute, and "accepts" it
if at least one multivalue is nonmatching).
