Look, what humans share in common with dogs is our eyes.

Yes, but the eyes are the only thing we share in common with dogs that they are intelligent enough to comprehend. For example our brain and organs all function in a similar manner. But the dog doesn't know that it can rest its paw on our chest to see how fast our heart is beating, yet if you wanted you could do this to your dog.

They know that we can walk. They know that we can play. There's plenty of others things as well, but I'll stop at two counter examples for simplicity's sake.

pretty sure they know enough to feel your heartbeat

I think dogs are still being underestimated quite severely.

So you're saying if your dog wanted to see if you were scared, fatigued, or on drugs he would have the know how to rest his paw on your chest and interpret this information?
