Not in common english, unless you're talking about an animal with a specific identity (like if you named your pet Dog). For example, "the dogs went on a walk", it's not capitalized, but with "my favorite pet is Dog" it would be capitalized.

This is the same with humans -- you could say "the soccer moms went to the game", but if referring to someone you call Mom, you would say "Mom picked me up from the game".

If you're referring to the animal by its scientific name, those are usually capitalized (since they are a name). For example, "Members of E. sepositus have five arms."

If you are referencing yourself, "i" should always, always, always be capitalized. Me = I. When referring to yourself, the "i" should be capitalized even if it is not at the beginning of the sentence. Example: Dave and I went to the store. Remember, just because a word has the letter "i" in it does not mean that the "i" should be capitalized. Example: She used It. (wrong) She used it. (right) The "i" is capitalized only when referring to yourself. In other words, when "I" means "me" or yourself.
