If you actually want to know why people seem to show such an inappropriate level of concern for animals, especially dogs, in many situations then I'd be more than happy to write a short essay on the sociological reasoning behind it and thus similarly the reasoning behind TVtropes ideas such as "pet the dog" and "kick the dog", but this doesn't seem like an appropriate venue and similarly I doubt anyone actually cares all that much.
