It’s a complicated way of saying – this person admires his dog very much. He thinks that it has qualities of personalities that are better than most humans.

It's means that they dog is so good (and that the speaker considers the dog is a person), that if the speaker was even a little bit (half as good as the dog,) they'd be a much better person than they currently are.
it's a little ironic/silly because dogs aren't people, of course, but the speaker loves and admires their dog and wants to be like the dog in order to be a better person.
