The words which convey the connotative meaning of the word primordial in the excerpt are the following ones:

A) original

D) essential

When the speaker says: "the dog is primordial", he means the dog is really important and dependable, that is, essential. Next, the speaker says: "Perhaps it was dreamed into being". He means the dog is fundamental, elementary and constitutes an origin, that is, it is original.
