Seriously, one species has undergone intensive inbreeding with the express purposes of cultivating physical and mental dependency, the other is still a feral predator that can continue flourishing without you. That robustness necessarily implies intelligence, the ability to discriminate perceptions (Chimpanzees can perceive magic tricks; they can discriminate that something has taken place that should not have followed from what was known). People mistake socially pliable for intelligence.
