We have police dogs.
We have dogs in the army.
We have dogs that assist the blind.
We have dogs that do search and rescue.
We have dogs that search you at the airport.
Then we have a medical system for them. (vets...self-funded by owners I might add) We have dog sitters. We have retail around them. They live in our houses, they have there own designated parks.
So what is the qualification to be part of society?

They are property, with no right of citizenship.
Here is the argument about pets as property versus calling humans "pet guardians" which opens up other discussions in law.
