I don't see why I can't hit my dog? I own it. Nobody says I can't hit my PlayStation if I want to. There's no difference. A dog is property, I'm so confused.

Hitting a dog is never acceptable, regardless of whether it is considered property. Dogs are beloved family members and are treated as such in most societies. Therefore, you should never raise a hand to a dog, regardless of its ownership status.
