You don’t think “is dog conscious” is relevant to how we treat dogs?

Yeah I actually don't.

If we learned that dogs where less conscious or even not conscious would you be okay with treating them poorly?

What I am really saying is I don't think people love their dogs because of there level of consciousness. Its everything else that matters.

Would it affect what laws we have in place to protect dogs?
