Pigs are as smart as dogs. It's weird that harming onenis animal abuse and the other is breakfast. Especially when some cultures eat dogs as well.
Dunno about other people, but in my case:
Wouldn't make much sense to raise dogs as livestock though, not enough meat on them and they pretty much need a diet that includes meat so it gets very expensive, especially for a dog that gets big enough to make a real steak from it...
My point was mostly to highlight that pet vs. livestock for me depends on raising conditions, not on species.
That said you're correct that raising dogs as a main source of meat wouldn't be efficient or practical, unlike pig, horse, cow, rabbit, guinea pigs etc.
