I believe that any other mammals that share an identical set of sentient faculties have a similar base consciousness where there would exist other discernments between us and them such as intelligence and self-awareness.
As stated, consciousness is not entirely understood but it seems to be at least a root or central processing factor of the biological machinery that interprets the environment via the senses. At the core it's what remains when you clear your mind of all thoughts. The ever present and never changing - I am.
It's likely the quality of awareness that varies from lifeform to lifeform where there are additional modes of processing that are built upon this "base consciousness" with more or less sentient factors involved and of course the complexity and potentiality of any gray matter involved.
Some might even go so far as to say that it is 'spirit' that is a basal seeding of consciousness that results in a 'soul' when paired with a physical vessel(or other construct) resulting in the duality of mind and body and that ultimately if anything moves at all than it is moved through "spirit" at the outset - panpsychism.
