I believe both benefits of the perk are active with Dogmeat. The reason I believe this is that you don't get the perk with anyone else, obviously. But there doesn't seem to be a way to dismiss a follower, so we would never benefit from it :S At least with Dogmeat, we can, regardless of whether you make him stay at Sanctuary or not. So I believe both benefits are active. But yeah, I haven't tested it to be sure with the 15% resistance thingy, though I can confirm you get the 50 extra carrry with Dogmeat.

you can dismiss a follower by talking to them and select dismiss. you then choose which settlement to go to. yes dogmeat understands english, and you can dismiss him too, if i couldnt then stealthing would be IMPOSSIBLE, stupid dog makes me look bad.

Umm you select Talk on a companion and then the left chat button after entering the talk section of there replys should be one that says Dismiss.

And as for why dogmeat and lone wander works is more likely the fact that his not a talking active quest effecting companion and is one the very first companion's you get before even Cogswell. Which is interesting which means potentally one could have an insane ability to loot with out care with strong back and lone wander together as well as if you get insperation up to 3 with the companion carry weight (which I assume works with Dogmeat).

oooh, it works. Well, I tried a few times, and it wouldn't let me into the sub-menu, suddenly, it does, not sure why. Yeah, I can dismiss now, thanks for the info :) But yeah, I think they should remove the perk even with Dogmeat, imo.
