the more i see of people the more i like my dog - who said this?

Answer 1

It's usually credited to Mark Twain, but Roman writer Seneca said it 2000 years earlier (but in Latin).

Answer 2

I thought it sounded like something Will Rogers would have said, but I found nothing similar in his quotations, but I did find the following:

"The more I know about men, the more I like dogs." - Gloria Allred, feminist attorney

The more I see of man, the more I like dogs. ~Mme. de Staël

Answer 3

From Wikiquote -

"The more I see of the representatives of the people the more I admire my dogs."

Alphonse de Lamartine
