A simple conversation would do.
"""I think dogs are wonderful! They're known for their loyalty, playfulness, and their ability to bring joy to people's lives. What about you? Do you have a favorite breed or dog story?"""
What do I ask next?
"I'm not a fan of dogs. I do know a few dogs though. Sometimes I invite my neighbour's dog for dinner. He's got good taste, for a dog. The last time he came around we talked about the situation in the Middle East. Do you know a good book about this topic that I could recommend to him?"
