Dogs have achieved an unbroken chain of survival dating back as far as your ancestors have, so they've achieved the same survival goals as you. They've managed to do so without our intellectual abilities, which goes to prove that our goals of making RL algorithms become "smart" is malformed since high level complex and abstract reasoning skills apparently aren't a necessarily prerequisite to survival, at least in our earth environment.
