If (s)he was referring to ancient Egyptians, (s)he should be aware that dogs were LOVED by them. I didn't understand their confusing remarks, either. At any rate, those who say that both dogs and cats can be extremely devoted, loving, caring companions have it right, of course. It'll all depend on the individual animal. In general dogs are known for their unconditional loyalty and cats for refusing to be slavish and almost looking down on people. But there are 'catlike' dogs and 'doglike' cats, and no hard and fast rules dictate how an animal will act. They are different species, and no doubt influenced by their wild ancestors' social structures and survival techniques. But to say that cats are less worthy of our time and attention...? I'm a dog person myself, but I adore cats as well (all animals, actually), and I wouldn't say such a thing. Even though a movie like this really, really, truly drives home the heartbreakingly strong faithfulness of dogs and makes you want to hug yours for hours...
