And why?My dog, of course.
Hmm. Okay, I see.Because he is my dog and I love him. What is a stranger to me and mine?
Yeah. In fairness to him. What is it for you? I mean, it's okay if you don't have a dog, but only hypothetical. If you have and you have to save one.I would assume that the challenge isn't what you'd say here, but actually putting it into practice, but I see at least @almostinsane is perfectly honest. I don't have a dog, so I can't really answer.
Awww. But over a human being?Dog, of course. It's a simple question of loyalty.
Same here. I just believe that human being is more important than an animal. If I will really have to choose one.The stranger I love my dog but she's still an animal not a person.
Okay. You will rescue your dog (an animal) over a stranger (a human being) because the dog is a family member.I would -- and I would say I think almost everyone would -- rescue a generic human before rescuing a generic dog. But when it's my dog, I would say that my duty to a family member comes before duty to a generic non-family member.
Okay. However in the situation, you really have to choose one. No calling emergency services. I see your point though that you've attached to your dog thus, your dog over a human being.I would choose my dog... I raised her on my own for 2 years I've grown attached to her, without her I would feel numb.. as for the Stranger just call Emergency services.
Oh. Okay, I see. It's because of attachment too that you'll chose one over the other, thus, your dog over a human being.My dog, on instinct and because I’d have way more attachment to it than some random stranger who’s not a more constant part of my life
Pets even if they can’t talk, are something you become attached too
Ohh. I see. Okay. You will always protect your dog thus, you chose your dog over a human being. If you will really have to choose.A few years ago, my dog tried to make a jump and couldn’t quite make it. He banged up his leg pretty bad (no vet needed, just a bruise) but when he hobbled over to me and rolled into my lap and just needed to cry a little I saw all the faith and love that little bundle of joy had for me, to see implicit trust and that he knew I would always be there for him and I knew... that he would continue to chew up my socks, but also I knew that I would never hold something as pure and kind as that whimpering pupper and I would always protect him.
I’m not giving that up for a stranger
