Dogs were domesticated 15000 years ago and have been living alongside humankind in cities since the first cities were established. Bikes were invented in the 19thC. Get over it.
(No I don't own a dog, nor will I ever do so, don't see the point)
It goes like this; people and other living ambulant creatures have priority over people on machines powered by sweat, people on machines powered by sweat have priority over people in machines powered directly or indirectly by fossil fuels. It really isn't that complicated.
Having priority does not absolve one of the responsibility to be considerate towards other people, regardless of their mode of transport.
