Save the stranger. Because if history repeats itself like it has many, many times before, my dog is going to get hit by a car soon anyhow.....

I would probably make a different decision based on the scenario, but if it was as simple as pressing a button I would press the button to save my dog.

You are not a fragile ornament ready to collapse into an exhausted mass of goo simply because you squatted more than once in a 7-day week.
It'd be like preparing your entire life to bang 100 chicks in a row, getting tan, hitting the gym, making sure your hair looks right and reading the Kama Sutra, only to realize when you get there that you're gay and cannot get hard in the presence of women.

I know I'd save my dog over some of you A holes
I expected a few to pick dog (myself included for the most part), but I didn't expect it to be this close in the poll.

This is an easy no-brainer. I'd save my family member over a stranger.

Depends on the stranger. If it was a child, definitely the stranger. Otherwise, probably the dog.

I'd make them fight to the death (Star Trek style) then save the winner.

I call bull**** on looking into the eyes of a human and deciding to let them over your dog. What people say and what they'd actually do in the situation will differ.

I have seen friends/family weep for extended periods of time after the loss of a pet, while strangers die all the time (News: disasters, accidents, war) and fewer (if any) tears are shed.
I agree it is situational/circumstantial, but the relationship you have cultivated with your pet is going to be more meaningful come decision time, than the one you have (not) with the stranger.Follow me on an enchanting adventure (My Log):

The human, just because:
- the cat will probably try to kill you after
- the dog isn't smart enough to notice the difference"There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the later ignorance. "

What if that human said, "Thanks for the save man" and then murdered you. A dog would never do that! Don't save the cat, it'll have another 8 lives anyway.

Do you have a dog? Mine is far more loyal and loving than any human has ever been. They aso always give love even when you are mad/sad, whatever.. They don't cheat, they don't lie, they don't argue.. This whole thread spawned from me seeing a news story about it and most chose their dog for these reasons.Originally Posted by Lvisaa2

A dog is a man's best friend. It's a member of the family. I would choose a family member over a stranger.

Quite honestly, if I knew that choosing the pet would kill the person, that sounds like murder to me.Originally Posted by Lvisaa2
