No. God sees us as His children, we have souls, animals don't have.

Humans are Animals

On the last day of creation, God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Genesis 1:26). Thus, He finished His work with a “personal touch.” God formed man from the dust and gave him life by sharing His own breath (Genesis 2:7). Accordingly, man is unique among all God’s creations, having both a material (body) and an immaterial (soul / spirit) part.
Having the “image” or “likeness” of God means, in the simplest terms, that we were made to resemble God. Adam did not resemble God in the sense of God’s having flesh and blood. Scripture says that “God is a spirit” (John 4:24) and therefore exists without a body. However, Adam’s body did mirror the life of God, insofar as it was created in perfect health and was not subject to death.
The image of God refers to the immaterial part of man. It sets man apart from the animal world, fits him for the “dominion” God intended (Genesis 1:28), and enables him to commune with his Maker. It is a likeness mentally, morally, and socially.

No. Man holds a special place because we are the only creatures intellectually capable of having a relationship with God. We are physiologically similar to the lower animals i.e. two eyes, one nose, four limbs etc. but the similarity stops there.

God sees us as His greatest creation who He sent down to Earth to test them whether they would obey His laws or not.
P.S. It is the human scientists that classify humans under the "animal kingdom"

which god? I believe there are large differences in god's attitude to humans depending on which god is involved. I don't think there is a general valid answer.

If He did, then He would of given animals a soul and the ability to reason......
He sees us as His children, His creation in His image and ones who will either love or reject Him.
