It could be argued that only being able to empathise with the suffering of animals the same species as you is a greater sign of psychopathy.
After all, it only takes a little move further along the spectrum to be making the same arbitrary distinction between different kinds of people by seeing them as subhuman. Unless that is you have evidence that puppies have less capacity to suffer than people which I am sure that you don't.
