Answer 1

your avatar is fugly...

Answer 2

I'm a very good swimmer I would save my dog then go back and try for the stranger. But my dog is mans best friend!!!

Ok so I check up on the questions I answered and OMG i can't believe some of you would actually let your dog die it doesn't say anything about, almost drowning it says they are both drowning! Ahhhhhh I adore my dog. And if people think that dogs can not do something for society they are 100% wrong you know how many dogs have saved lives? Or look at the dogs that work? And then look at all the humans that DONT work yea a little backwards don't ya think?? I still would not change my mind i would save my dog first then the stranger. This isn't about some dog its about your own pet of 12 years read the entire question!!!!!

Answer 3

The stranger because I believe that a human's life is more important than that of a dog, especially if I was responsible for that person's death. The guilt would kill me. I would be devastated about the dog, but I would learn to get over it.

Don't get me wrong, I love dogs but I just think that in this situation, the human would come first. Plus, don't dogs know how to swim naturally?

Answer 4

Ofcourse the stranger ! It takes a lot to be born as a human. And the suffering is more to a human, than to a animal because of the only unique quality only a human has " Self-Awareness"!
Usually, a dog can swim, and save itself, but there can be extreme circumstances, where even a dog can get drowned !

Answer 5

Why not? maximum of those immigrants are actually not hardship-free workers, extra desirable than human beings. in simple terms think of in this, if each and every of those immigrants spend $5 an afternoon for residing, how a lot funds is shifting around to help the U. S. financial gadget in on a daily basis foundation by using fact they're right here? do you desire to get rid of that? Displacing the interest marketplace? i don't think of so.. .they're producing financial pass on the financial scheme. is extra suited to take benefit as a replace of create a racist disaster. regarding protection themes... unlawful immigration exist by using fact very long term in the past, even till now 9/11 then you definately can't make any relation with unlawful immigration and terrorism. they're "distinctive animals"

Answer 6

I would try to save both, but if it came down to it.... I would save the stranger, the stranger probably has a family waiting for them at home. Besides, most dogs can dog paddle.

Answer 7

I'd try to save both- the stranger first since dogs are usually good swimmers.
However, if I had to pick saving one or the other, I'd pick my dog.

Answer 8

ill save the stranger
dogs can naturally swim

Answer 9

All dogs have a natural instinct to swim so I would have to save the stranger.

Answer 10

this question is actually more difficult than it would at first glance seem.
Whenever a person decides to rescue somebody in dire straits, there is the very real possibility that the rescuer could become the victim. The answer is you rescue that which poses the least threat to your own mortality.

Answer 11

a person. (i dont own a dog and never have so my answer may be skewed) but I think a human is more capable than an animal to do good things and be a positive influence on society. Especially if his life flashed before his eyes when i "supposedly* saved him.
