Default Consciousness/Souls/Animals

Do we simply say we are conscious and animals are not because we are more intelligent than animals and/or "God created us in His image"?

Aren't animals conscious of themselves and their environment? Dogs seem pretty conscious to me.

How do I know other people are conscious and not just robots programmed to react to different stimuli to simulate consciousness?


"Your soul is MINE!"
