[Star Wars] Does Chewbacca see Han as an equal, or more of a beloved pet?

Think about it. Wookiees can live for many times longer than a human, and they're physically superior to us and apparently at least equal mentally. They're basically higher life forms.

Chewbacca had bound himself to Han Solo with a life debt - but since he could expect to live for centuries after Han's death, from his perspective that was no more of a long-term commitment than you or I might make by buying a kitten.

What does Han's friendship really mean to Chewbacca? He knew going in that he was going to outlive the little hairless ape, and spend potentially centuries more wandering the galaxy and making new short-term friendships. Could Han really be that important to him in the long term?

Given that Chewbacca is a reasonable and honorable person, and not a racist bigot, he does not judge the value of sentient beings by their lifespans or physical prowess.  The life-debt carries no less meaning for him because Han's natural lifespan is shorter than a wookie's.  Han is his equal, and a true friend.
