pretty sure you wont make many friends by just throwing "pigs are way smarter than dogs" into the room without citing any sources. i mean, there are a lot more proud dog owners than pet-pig owners. that said, my guess as to why dogs are mainly pets and pigs are usually food is: dogs have a higher carnivorous bias - they need more costly meat than pigs, making them more expensive to breed as food on a mass production scale. also, dogs were extremely valuable pets since the beginning of human civilisation, so i guess it's culturally ingrained not to view them as a food source.
