Animals are sentient...they just are not abstract thinkers. WE don't need telepathy to know this, just a good understanding of neurology, behavioral science/anthropology etc. Chimps freak out if you put a mirror in front of them because they are unable to distinguish self from 'not self'. They think the reflection is another chimp gesturing at them and they try frantically to make contact with the reflection.
Dogs and dolphins do not have intelligence on par with humans and we know this for a fact because there are several physiological adaptations requisite for the development of abstract thought. An un-constricted larynx, fine manipulators and a decent sized brain with all the nifty features our brains have. We humans would never have become intelligent without the adaptations of hands and our larynx(needed for complex communication).
