This reply sounds so fake that in my opinion should be enough to rule out any hint of intelligence. However if you insist I'd continue with this:

"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?"
