I have two answers for you. Before the past decade the answer is yes dolphins are smarter than dogs. But before the past decade research into dogs (their intellegence and behavior) was not deemed a valid school of study by most of the scientific community unlike dolphians who were studied in detail. In recent years there have been amazing discoveries about the number of things that a dog is capible of understanding. Only Humans and Dogs look into the eyes of a human and more look first at the right eye and then the left. No other animal does this, dogs don't even do it with eachother, only with humans. All other animals, even wild dogs such as wolves, look at the whole face of the animal and not directly at the eyes. Further proof of this is shown when a person makes eye contact with a dog and then looks somewhere else. Even without pointing or turning your head the dog will look the same direction and follow your gaze. No other animal does these things, not even dolphins. So to answer your question, we can't be sure without more research. Is this a sign of increased intellegence or is it a sign that dogs have evolved specifically for communication with humans? You be the judge.

As a point of reference take a look at this documentary. Dogs: Decoded it is a pbs film.

They know that they do know how to communicate just like we do.But also that they have sounds to tell people when they had enough like a 'knok' sound.

Because they have almost the size of our brain mass, if not bigger. (Bigger brain equals intelligence!)

Dolphins work as a team! when there is a school of fish, one dolphin will often swim around them really fast until a wall of dust if picked up from the bottom and trapped the fish. Now, because the fish can not see, they try to jump out of the water, and over the wall of dust. when they do this, the other dolphins are waiting and eat them! they are very clever animals! Dolphins are mammals. There are more than 40 types of dolphins. Dolphins use ecolocation to find out where things are.
