Brother, if you seek opinions, on many subjects you can find one that says one thing and another opinion that says the opposite.  I suggest you focus on the fundamentals: understand the deep implications of the shahadah; do your salat; give charity; fast in Ramadhan; go for Hajj if you can. After these, the most important expression of faith is to do good deeds (be helpful, conciliatory, generous, gentle, kind, respectful, etc.)

 

Your fundamental choice is to be motivated by fear of punishment for violating "rules", or to be motivated by love of allah and his prophets and messengers, peace be upon them.

Wa alaikum salaam wa rahmatullaah

 

What verse are you referring to? 

 

Some have pictures of other animals or insects on their pages... would these other creatures be included in the discussion or is the issue only dogs?
