Which basically means nothing at all.
Yes, we're animals, but we're smarter than the rest of our animal brethren, so why should we not use that smarts to live in whatever way we like? Animals that can fly, fly. Animals that can sing, sing. So let animals that can send machines to other planets send machines to other planets.
All these things are things and realities people consume because they can consume them -- they have the ability to buy these things by performing work.
Dogs like watching television, if wolves could buy tvs they would all buy tvs and eat microwave dinners because it's easy to do that and it's possible... because they could do it, they have technology to do it. They, like your dog, would still be the same animals.
Reality is what we can consume because we can build those things using technology and other animals also use technology to build things but they can't do it to the same extent that we can, we however are still animals.
