UA never allowed me to collect additional miles, I was told by GS line a non-human couldn't have a MP account and did not share with me I could have the additional miles (and I didn't ask because never thought of it). Granted I haven't flown the new UA with my pooch, so is this something after merger?

This has been discussed here multiple times in the past.

You can get RDM for the 2nd ticket, but no PQM, and no bonus miles (at least for status bonus, not sure about COS bonus). It's not automatic - you need to manually request it post-flight.
