不过肯定不是这么正面的意思，我猜pet a burning dog应该是指惹上什么麻烦或者招惹了什么人，不过想不出具体可以如何翻译

你是看了美剧里面的对白来问的这个问题吧.
意思就是说：你能容易在太冲动或者还没把事情彻底调查清楚时,就盲目地把自己置身于进度两难的境界.
也可以解释为 不要随便去惹一个正在发火的人!
Never pet a burning dog.
不要自找没趣.
不要去招惹一个正在气头上的人.
你可以参考国外观众的讨论：
看看下面的：
It means not to jump into a situation blindly,without assessing it thoroughly - otherwise you could get hurt or cause more damage.
I'm thinking you're asking this because of the recent "Generation Kill" episode on HBO,correct?The saying,"Never pet a burning dog," is indicated because the characters had thought they were extending what they believed to be a helping hand to the oppressed people,but now see the ramifications of doing so are poor,and finding that the good they thought they were doing is in question,and the likelihood of harm befalling them for their efforts is greater than ever because of the influx of young Arab men from outside Iraq wanting to fight westerners.

Credit?Sorry,I watched the episode.What more credit do you want?

字面是 抚摸一只燃烧着的狗
应该是自讨麻烦，明知道危险还要去做

燃烧的宠物狗

我总感觉这样翻译不太好，但是我从一些美国杂志以及网站上面看过，有一个俚语的翻译：抚慰一个心急的家伙。那就是自找没趣，招惹麻烦。
我是这么理解的，谢谢！

用心栽培心中的理想，让理想闪闪发光。。
我。。。。乱说的。。。。。

Never pet a burning dog.
不要自找没趣.
不要去招惹一个正在气头上的人.
