Generally when humanity finds the need to restrict the consumption of certain types of meat it falls into two categories:
1) The animal is icky
2) The animal has more value to us alive (at least historically)

Examples of 1) include Muzzies not eating pigs (which eat and roll around in shit) and Jews not eating shellfish (bottom feeders and also kinda icky looking honestly. I'm talking about the shellfish not the Jews btw). Examples of 2) include horses (as farm equipment or transportation), Hindus and cows (lifetime milk production plus labor as farm equipment), and dogs (hunting equipment, farm equipment, companionship, alarm system)

Some people might tell you it's because dogs are cute. This is also part of it but dogs are cute because we bred them that way (possibly inadvertently) while using them for other things, so I consider this sort of secondary if that makes sense
