You know what really gets me about this moment? It's the fact that Hans starts out calling Mutt an IT before immediately realizing and switching: Mutt can look after himself.
Bearing in mind that the game even tells you that animals were viewed purely through the lens of utility (as a historian I do take umbrage with this all-or-nothing verbiage but I get what they're saying), this does tell us that Hans knows that Henry really cares about his dog and is making a concerted effort to treat him accordingly. Because he also really cares about Henry.
