Either you've done something to your dog to make it fearful of you, like beat it. Or there could be a medical condition and the dog isn't recognizing you for some reason. Dogs do not suddenly start growling at their owners for no reason. The fact you mention "What can I do to make him love me again" suggests you've done something wrong to your dog. If that's the case you probably should not even own a dog. However, if you've done nothing to it than I would suggest a trip to the vet to try and find out what's going on. Dogs, just like humans, can suffer from a stroke or a brain tumor which can alter their normal personality. It's definitely something you should try to correct otherwise you may end up getting bit. Whatever you do, be sure not to scold or hit the dog if it growls at you.

This is strange. If you mistreat the dog, I can see why it would growl at you. If you got the dog when it was an adult, I can understand this attitude as well, but if you were the only owner, then I'd have to say, you are to blame somehow. Look after the dog's health first and you, better than any of us can answer your own question.

You need to train and socialize this dog. You have not established alpha. You should enroll yourself and the dog into a good obedience class this will help you and your dog bond. It will teach you about dog behavior and how to teach your dog. It will give your dog confidence and establish you as alpha. It will make for a more wonderful pet and a safer one.
Some suggest giving treats. You do not give treats to a badly behaving dog as this is a reward and you teach the dog that bad behavior gets rewards. Correct bad behavior, reward good behavior.

What did you do to him? Did you hit him or leave him with someone that abused him?
But to earn his trust will take time.. get down on the floor and sit.. have some treats and his favorite toys...

I don't know what you did to deserve that but one way to get him to love you again is to feed him treats. little by little get closer to him as you give him treats and pet him. and talk to him gently
