I don't want to sound preachy but I don't think it's good to think of them as dogs, other animals or something else subhuman. Whatever their problems are, they are still human beings. I understand your analogy, and I'm sure we all fall victim to that kind of thinking but I don't think it's apt nor is it good to say it out loud so other people get the same idea.
