John 15:13 is not incoherent with the rest of the Bible's message that we are the sheep-like servants of our LORD AND MASTER.
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, - Psalms 95:7
Many people consider their pets to be their friends. This does not mean that we are equal to our master, or that get to have any say in how He governs us and treats us, being the dumb animals that we are.
Yes, JESUS cares very much for His pets and went so far as to temporarily die so that He wouldn't have to set His little friends on fire to punish them for all the times they did naughty things He told them not to do, but don't let it go to your head.
