I think you can assign value to life, because not everyone is the same.
But theres two ways to look at it; personally OR un-biased.
Personally I value my family member's lives more than some stranger on the street.
But when I try and be un-biased, i look at a person's value to humanity as a whole. Meaning, are they going to harm this world? or make it better?
judging from there, i decide if someone is good, bad, or neutral.
the guy in the video is a bad person, and the dog is neutral.
So I think the dog's life has more value.

True, but that 'value' is personally assigned, there is no currency for it.
I think that the 'personal value' here is bond.
I believe it is bond and not life that has value.
For instance, emotions are based upon bond, and we utilize these bonds to place the things into our own ranks of importance.
Value is a unit for comparison. If there is no bond, then there is no way to rank; thus life cannot be valued.
