Morphology
The meaning 'an injury caused by the teeth of a dog' is directly and compositionally derived from 'dog' (an animal) + 'bite' (an injury caused by teeth). This noun+noun modifier pattern is transparent and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the phrase's meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun dog bite gives a clear picture: a dog uses its bite and its teeth cut the skin, leaving a wound. So it means 'an injury caused by the teeth of a dog'.
