Air France 747-400, business class.
Two people traveling together with 6kg (in cabin) dog. Which would be the "most private" two seats in the cabin?

I'd say row 1 is less private because you are much nearer the people on the other side of the aisle. I'd say that in the front cabin row 4 gives the most privacy if that is what is wanted (furthest space from other side of the aisle, no one behind you so you only have people on two sides and not 3).
However, the overall most private pair of seats would be 8KL as you are really quite secluded from the rest.

Row 1 is not applicable, since dogs (in cabin) are not allowed in row 1.

In any case. My favourite 747 J seat in the skies is 1A on KLM

I was able to get 8KL on the 747, and while the Air France seat map does not do a good job of showing it's "privacy," I very much appreciate the advice given above.
Now, for the return BOS-CDG, it's an Air France A330-200 and I reserved 4KJ (same scenario, two passengers with in cabin dog). Curious if there are any thoughts about a better/preferred option.

I hope you'll like it. To be honest, I am more of a nose fan myself too because I mostly care about views and row 1 gets the best one because of the curvature of the plane. However, my friends who prefer privacy swear by 8KL so hopefully that will be confirmed!

747 worked great with Mr. Leo the wonder dog. Very private seats. Great with a pet (especially, when flying with another companion in the other seat).
