I didn't say they would like my decision. Of course, if it's your family you hope someone chooses them over their dog. It's whoever has the self interest there.

I doubt it, I know I would leave my fish to fend for itself... I know people generally suck, but my rankings, nonetheless.peopleanimalspaedos/rapists/murderersSo even you guys who voted dogs, not surprised at the results at all? I could see if the scenario was an 80 y/o stricken with some kind of illness which would appeal to you pragmatics but this is fascinating.

I'd save your dog, too. In fact, I may pull another stranger into the water to help me float to the dog.read the whole thread. It's been covered. no shtick, no online humor, no nothing. If your mom and my dog were drowning, I'd save my dog.I don't mean to be the humour police as I know this is just a hypothetical and I have a feeling many of you voting dog now, would in fact save the human. But as much as it's cool and funny to be heartless online, how realistic is it in real life?I mean when cold-blooded killers can break down and cry in the face of a loved one of their victim, do you really think you wouldn't, after choosing your dog over them ? And I think most people would hope they would break down in such a scenario, because otherwise it is just scary.HERBERT THE HIPPO said:Dear someone's mother/father/son/daughter,I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I'm not really surprised because in this scenario it's your dog, not just a random dog. Otherwise I agree with your rankings above. For the record, I don't currently have a pet but have in the past and that's the way I'd feel about it.

I'd get 2 hobos and take them down to the gas station and inflate them with the air hose and ride them out to save my dog. I'd get my dog on the hobo raft and take her to shore. Then, I'd ride the hobos back out next to his mom, deflate the hobos, leave all three of them and swim to shore where my dog would be waiting for me. Then we'd go play fetch.I'd save your dog, too.

No, I would have a clean conscience knowing that I saved what was more important to me.Right, so why take the chance, just assume every guy drowning is a child molester and that way you get to walk away with a clear conscience
to hell with man, save his best friend.

I am sure this has been covered in the previous 34 pages, but for me the age of the stranger matters. If it is a 4 year old, I would save the kid. If it is a 30 year old I would save my dog.
The other factor for me is how old is my dog? Today basically a pup. In ten years whole different story.

I definately didn't read the whole thread, so this could be the same thoughts as someone else -
the stranger
a) the dog should have stayed in the backyard
b) you can get another one that looks nearly identical to your old dog
c) humans > dogs

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Almost 45% would save "THEIR" dog not "A" dog over a human.

Are we assuming he busted out of prison, or prior to the event that made him famous?

a) the human should have been smart enough to keep his ### out of the water if he can't swim.b) there's billions of strangers out there and most of them look alike to mec) my dog > unknown human

People who know how to swim drown, too. Happens alla time. Maybe he was even trying to save a dog like some guy in the news this week.

I guess so. I just realized how old it is. I guess I will give my answer. I would save another human being before my dog. They better be thankful, because I love my dog. Best dog I have ever had.

In reading over this thread, one thing stood out to me: I used to put a lot more effort into my posts than I currently do.

there are a zillion people i don't know, and it's safe to assume that i could do without most of them. i only have 2 dogs, and they're great. i went with the dog here.

Those of you that read this and are like about the percentage of the people who would save a dog over their fellow man, keep in mind this thread is more of a testament to how people post on a message board than it is to man's attitude towards his fellow man.

I'd save some of my dog's toys from floating away before I saved some members of the FFA.

Are you suggesting that cats don't die every day?I'd save my cats over 30 strangers.
People die every day.

You would continue picking up your dog's #### in the yard before assisting another human being in distress.

Since I'm a grown man, I'm picturing the stranger being another grown man. So in this istance, I'd save my dog because the dog is MY responsibility. He is MY dog and in many ways your dog is like a child. You have to look out for its well being, its safety, etc. I'd look at the other grown man as responsible (and capable) of hopefully helping himself out of his situation. The dog, who is MY responsibility needs me for these types of things.
Same thing if the question was a grown man vs. a child drowning; who do you save? The overwhelming answer would be the child, correct? The reason why is that the child if far less capable of saving itself thus more in the need of help.
