Perhaps, but (to the best of our apparent knowledge) the difference between "doggy brain" and "human brain" isn't really that the "human brain" is orders of magnitude faster at thinking "doggy thoughts"; it appears to be at least as much a qualitative difference in what it does as in the amount it can do in a given unit time...and the moreso if you start comparing, say, "gecko brain" to "human brain". Agree with your general thrust but it's the qualitative change that's the more interesting, as it's perhaps unknowable (in the way that your dog Fido will never understand most of your thoughts, no matter how patiently you explain them).
