      Interesting question and one that has been the pitfall of much research done on the evolution of brain size. While certain animals can have a brain with a bigger mass than ours (some big breed dogs may, I am not certain on this), when evolutionists talk of ‘brain size’ they actually mean ‘brain size relative to the rest of the body’. So in that sense, dogs do not have a bigger brain than us.
