There are probably both practical and sentimental reasons for this. Practicaly speaking, there are other animals that are anatomically closer to humans and less expensive to breed, like pigs (and mice, for earlier stages of research). For sentimental reasons, since dogs are such a common pet, there would probably be a public outcry if they were used for research where there was any potential for harm to them.
