I consider subject=* to describe a category: if the dog is well enough 
known, I'll use subject=Sandy (and probably create a wikidata for it one 
day)
if it's a dog that's only important to its owner, subject=dog seems
more interesting to me
but I hear that some would like Sandy is a dog which is a mammal
which is an animal etc.
for me it's not very useful information in osm, it's more a 
classification for wikidata

> Maybe memorial:animal=dog would be an option.

namespaces are used to avoid conflicts between 2 innfos with
the same key (e.g. the name of a highway=* and the name of the bridge), 
so one of the 2 is prefixed with the namespace (e.g. bridge:name).
here I can't see what conflict there could be, there are no other 
animal=* to put on the object
so adding prefixes makes no sense
likewise animal seems to me to be an information and not a key
whose value provides information, which is why it seems preferable
to me to have =animal
