Sexpet maybe
Go get her Chodax!
cats get it sweet though
doesn't matter how well you treat your dogs it's still a prisoner that has to do what it's told, i'm sure dogs don't care mind, it's better than being out in the cold and having to find thier own food and their needs are simple
but if we were to be treated like that by a master race we'd hate it, being told what to do and when to do it and only eating when they say it's time to eat rather than when we're hungry ect ect would be worse than prison in some ways
It might be like that...on the other hand given that the aliens would be super intelligent & curious, and knowing that we are significantly more advanced than a labrador puppy, it might end up being more of a boarding-school learning experience, rather than master/dog
