Tell that to the humans they supposedly enslave!

I know what you mean though when you say it's just a way of saying they are intelligent. There are clearly more enlightened than dogs but I would still rather have a dog as a pet as they have much more character. My last pet was cat though (more out of convenience) so I don't dislike them.
