They're Both Drowning and You Can Save Only One . Your Dog or a Stranger?

    Gringo, I think most people in the USA would save the person first (that is if they even noticed it). Many people have risked or given their lives saving strangers. We even have people donating a kidney to a total stranger! But I agree, it is much different than it was 20 years ago and much different than it was 40 years ago.

    In my case, I would try to save the person but we'd probably both drown, but I hope I would have the guts to at least try if I thought I could help without endangering others. In the end, a dog is just an animal and according to most of the posts in other threads, no more than property; you can't talk out of both sides of your mouth. Now if you would save your wallet, car, cat, or dog before a person, that is up to you, but call it what it is, property.

    Wouldn't even try to save my dog as I wouldn't want to risk someone else's life because, more than likely, I would wind up needing help myself and someone would need to come and help me get out.

    (reminder to myself, make sure my dog knows how to swim :o)

    You cant judge a person you dont know. Just because some members of society are twisted individuals doesnt mean we should tarnish all humans with the same brush

    A reasonable answer to one of these "what if" questions always will give a good work out to my mind before I can come up with one to answer the question.

    I am not going to say I will not think twice about saving either or.....because as much as I would choose my girl, my dog, I repeatedly think about the cries of another human life calling to my natural human instinct to react and help. The same would apply towards the cries of a yelping dog in a life and death situation. I have to much of a heart to only think about something like this. I can only be certain over my decision of action once I am apart of this very well potential heartbreaking situation. Knowing myself I could never just react in a selfish or self centered manner to allow something to suffer if I am in the picture where my presence could very well be useful. I agree that life doesn't evolve around you as much as it is your life and you live by your life. I just think the more you have the will to fight and challenge yourself over what you may think you should never consider on any degree, you can better yourself in so many directions because you learn by leaping to that step regardless of the outcome. Rather then it catching you to become a victim of guilt or shame down the road because you never had the faith to try. So I would try to save both my dog being first and then going after the stranger but I have no place to say F the human ONLY my dog.

    rescued people in the past got no problem with that.
    Specialy with children involved.
    :butbutbut:
    Society makes man.
    That's what i always say.

    I had a bike crash in a intersection, most of my skin was gone after slamming in to the asphalt NO ONE STOPT there bloody car to get out and see how i was doing.

    Been hit by a car that was going about 45 miles per hour, they did not even stopt and kept on driving.

    A girl was screaming for help in a panic kinda way in the middle of the streets near stores, everyone looked at her if she was crazy.
    I had Beanie with me and a mate, so we did checkt it out to see what was going on.
    Turns out she was robbed and raped by 2 guys, so we took her to the police.

    And many other things happend around me to other people that just did not recieved any help.
    After this i would say FUCK every stranger accept kids, they are innocent (til a certain age that is),
    And my personal hard work and time wil go first, the dogs !
    Sorry for the people who do not like those things but my heart just is not in that place anymore

    Well my friend if you look at it like that then all you are doing is lowering yourself to their level i think if i were you i would step up and be the bigger man and do the right thing instead of doing the same things that you got pissed at others for doing

    You've got a solid point there about beeing the bigger man.
    And in other situations i alway stept up to be the bigger man but like i said my heart is just not in that place anymore.
    And believe me when i say i did not asked it to be this way, it just happend.
    Somehow i just do not care anymore about strangers.
    Maybe in time things wil change but this is just how i feel towards it right now.

    That's alot to read bud, I didn't read it all. Yes I would let you, your wife, or your kids go down like a rock and not think twice about it. I swim good enough to save myself.

    Honestly I have no idea what I would do, I like to believe I would go for the human first. Also if I was a completely orphan, which I am not, and my country was in war, I would like to believe that I would join and fight for every member of my nation and not for any dog. What would you people do? You wouldn't fight for anyone, or for other reasons you would? Assume situations like Iraq, not direct danger of your country's land and borders. Thank you in advance for any answer.

    Honestly, I would feel terrible either way. Who came up with this? It's depressing! I'm gonna have to say I'd pick the person. The dog should be perfectly capable of swimming...
