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 considered animal abuse and is considered a crime in most jurisdictions. Hitting a piece of property such as a television or video game is not the same and is not considered a crime.
