The fact that many young mammals have the "Big Head + Big Eyes + Round Features" helps - it's a very strong "this is an infant" trigger that plugs into something very deep in our brains. And that of other mammals that have prolonged care of helpless infants.

It continues to amaze me that "big dog" + "small kitten" does not equal "snack". We must have trained canis familiaris really well over the course of thousands of years.

 

There are a lot of interesting studies on man's effect on Dogs, some calling it the longest running eugenics experiment in the history of the world. The modern dog has an almost innate understanding of our facial expressions and body language that it is downright amazing when you think about it. They've been conditioned to think of humans and their other pets as their pack. You may sometimes try to dominate in the pack, but eating fellow packmates is normally frowned upon :)
