Dragons being unintelligent takes away from their extinction as it's just big strong animal dying, unless you tie the entire race to bigger natural concepts and powers that symbolize something, like they are tied to magic in ASOIAF. I personally prefered approach like in The Wandering Inn where the extinction of Dragon is hit home much harder when you know they used to have an entire advanced civilization and shook the entire world...just to end up as a species that likely doesn't surpass ten members. Now they just shapeshift and scuttle around, pretending to be someone else.

Having a PoV of an ancient Dragon that had seen both his species peak and the utter desolation after thousands of years hits much, much harder. Once a commonplace species, now myth and legend that people don't even treat seriously, and in time even that might fade into obscurity.
