Actually, there has been some great scientific studies done in the last decade proving that dogs have conscious and cognitive thoughts. The same type of research that has been done to chimps and apes to show their relatedness to us, and the traits we attribute to humans but that exist in other species.
I think that just because we have no way to be aware of what animals do consciously, does not mean they don't have conscious thoughts.
