Annnnnnnd, apparently thought it would be cool to create a special thread for the sole purpose of making googoo eyes at one another.
No, I asked because I felt like it, told him what I was posting, and he felt like responding. I have little control over what he types, except that he did have the courtesy to ask me if I minded that he made note of his "claim" on me in the post. I didn't think this would be a horrible place for it, so I said I didn't mind; I suppose I was wrong. Thank you for that, I need to be sometimes.

Submissives are more like cats in that they are more self-reliant, and will submit to you at any time, ...as long as it suits them and they are in the mood.
Slaves are much more like 'man's best friend' in that they are more loyal, happier to see you when you get home, don't try to take off their collar, enjoy licking your hand if it makes you happy and genuinely want nothing more than the love, affection and attention of their Master.
As you might gather from my nickname, my 'preference' is for the deeper, the more intense, the more committed and the more meaningful.
...just my preference, your mileage my vary
No problem with preferences! ^_^
I don't know if I would consider either "more intense," "more committed," or "more meaningful," however. Those sorts of things are on an individual scale. I mean, one could say that a tiger is extremely intense, but it can be trained to hop through hoops of fire. Maybe more committed for a Master who abuses them, I could certainly see that...not suggesting you do! But, dogs accept punishment a lot easier. As for meaningful, I won't comment on that one. As you said, mileage may vary, and anything I may say on that one would likely be misconstrued as insulting to dogs and their methods of showing love. It isn't bad, just different.

Having worked with a lot of dogs i have to disagree that dogs are stupid. No dog is stupid. Put if i had to pick a breed it would a Doberman. The entire Breed of dog was made to be a loyal companion dog. Frederic Dobermann bred them in Germany to be exactly that. A companion. Fredric was a tax collector in the late 1800 and needed a intimidating dog to ward off thieves. Dobes are highly intelligent, fiercely loyal, low maintenance. Wanting to please and he things hes a lap puppy. (which if not the case for a 90pd dog) lol
I will say, I do like dogs quite a bit. They love you no matter what, you can smack them when they irritate you and, usually, they'll just back off. I dislike how needy they tend to be, though. It's always, "attention, attention, attention." I have a Border Collie and a Poodle, along with two cats. The dogs will throw their attention at me, to the point that I just want to yell, "GO AWAY!" But, I love them nonetheless. The cats...well, I feel like when they choose to show that they love me, it's a little more worthwhile; that whole, "anything you don't work for isn't appreciated" thing. My cat also attacked one of our dogs when he knocked my older daughter down, and made her cry. But, that's one of those nuanced things, as opposed to the "general consensus" on cat behavior, which is what I prefer to go by in this particular discussion. I certainly agree that no dog is stupid, though. On the other hand, it is one of the "generic" traits as seen by a consensus (shown by such ideas as "big, dumb, dog"). I think that their average willingness to return to a situation where they've been abused might be a bad trait, but there are certainly no stupid dogs. It's just how they were bred.
