Plus je connais les hommes, plus j’aime mon chien.

I would seriously question that - "the more I know men/the people, the more I love my dog". It's only someone who does not get a long too well with other people who can say that; he is after all "l'homme lui-meme" (a person/man himself; there is an accent missing which I do not have on my keyboard and that I therefore can't type).

On the contrary, I would assert the following:

You may be right, but I am not that good at French. I can read it- they(french) think I am from Belgium, and i understand North African French speakers better than the French..and they me.
