The resolution is that "dogs are smarter than people"  not that all dogs are or even that most dogs are smarter than most people. Therefor if dogs are smarter than any people I win as long as it's kept plural. There are retarded humans who are literal vegetables and don't comprehend anything, they can't even speak, understand speech or wipe their own ass. There are dogs who comprehend language more than them, can do more than them in general and who show more complex thinking and problem solving skills.

I reject that premise, however i will say that all humans are smarter than dogs in spiritual understanding, supernatural comprehension and awareness of black holes.
