I would actually guess this has more to do with size bias. That is people generally value larger animals over smaller animals, which is apparent from the endangered and extinct animals which get the most attention and sympathy.

I would be interested in seeing the statistics for large dog breeds vs. small dog breeds. Do small dog stats look more like cats?
