Dogs and little kids love me???
I'm reading a book, Beware That Girl. In its beginning, its main character describes herself as below.

"I'm comfortable with the weight of my lies. So I'm good. That's all there is to it...... And another thing - dogs and little kids love me, so there goes that lame old saying. Demented rich girls love me too."

I don't get what "dogs and little kids love me, so there goes that lame old saying" means here.
What am I missing??

Answer

Hello

It implies that she is a nice, kind, trustworthy person because dogs and kids love her. 
We often say that if dogs or children do not like someone then they are not a nice person.

Hope this helps
