I have too much to write on this topic, yet much of it isn't well-formed yet. This will start with my notions of 3rd-2nd.
First, dogs have wired-in "need" to relate with humans, so they make excellent and popular pets. I never had a dog but I saw plenty of them bonding with their humans, and that has to make a significant difference in their journey toward 3D.
I had a pet cat for 20 years, and treated him as an adult human in many ways. I stopped treating Klibby as a fragile pet after he stopped being a kitten, and talked frankly to him as if he understood everything I said. I think many/most humans treat their cats as with gentle stroking and baby talk. I had spent a lot of time visiting Carla and seeing how Don treated her male companion cat called Gandalf. Don would spend time doing an assertive kind of patting him at the hindquarters: straight down on the back right in front of his tale and on either side of his hips knocking him sideways. Gandy didn't want that to stop, so Don did it until he himself grew bored with it.
My cat loved that too and I would really knock him around. In between my "knocks," Kibby would rub himself against me, and if I took too long to do more, he would look me in the eyes as if saying, "C'mon, what's the holdup!" By the end of his life, Klibby showed me a lot of understanding like dogs do, and he respected me as much as I did him. I felt that bond and missed him after he made his transition. Still do, though it has been decades.
I'll say most dogs and my cat, at least, obviously got a lot of investment from 3D. Most 2Ders are not pets at all and may never see a human. Perhaps many/most trees are 3D, and animals spend time in and around them. That may provide investment too.
In the LOO, Ra described how they first dealt with humans on the earth and documented their foolish mistakes that perhaps they are still correcting. That made me think that Ra were 4D at that point because they showed plenty of compassion that was not tempered with wisdom. That's just my opinion, though. Maybe they were brand new 5Ders and hadn't developed enough wisdom yet.
