Dogs are naturally more social than cats. Cats form groups to a degree but dogs have a hierarchical pack structure that makes them fit into human life more easily. That's why cats are assholes. Their instinct is not to please the alpha in the way a dog derives pleasure from adhering to its position in the hierarchy. This was a ridiculous point of contention in a relationship once. And I'm right goddammit. Dogs are better because they're capable of love! Fuck you Jessica! (/My little John Oliver style tantrum.)
