What does this mean? After a speech on animal rights in 1989, an audience member asked Regan, "If you were aboard a lifeboat with a baby and a dog, and the boat capsized, would you rescue the baby or the dog?" Regan responded, "(If) it were a retarded baby, and a bright dog, I'd save the dog."
personally I cant help but to save the animal before a human first because Animals have more than proven their loyalty and bravery and have saved many human lives throughout time .....and humans treat them(pets/dogs) like garbage!
What would you do in any type situation where you had to choose?

It seems that no one understood the Question .Lets see if I do you meant (I think)is if you were in a different scenario for example your house was on fire and the only part of your house was engulfed in flames was were some poor dog with her puppies, was the only life that could be saved you would obviously save the dogs and if you tried to save the neighbours you would obviously die and put fire rescue at more peril for having to save you too ....save the dogs all life is precious

How are old are you, teens? OMG i cant even believe your asking this and trying to justify it by saying dogs save humans. Learn basic logic, or at least take it as an elective in college when you go, if you go.
Have you forgotten Jesus, and Gandhi, and Lincoln and Salk and countless others through out history that have allowed you to write your stupid question.
FYI, where is Fido when yahoo coded the language to create yahoo answers?
Here's another way to look at it. If you were the baby would you want your dog or you saved?

why not save both? a baby is helpless and a dog innocent. but in reality, every dog i've ever jump into water has been able to swim. so i would keep the baby's head above water, make sure the dog's snout was up and then find something to float them on

i would save the kid.
Losing your son (or brother) would be a worse loss than losing your dog.(even if he's somebody else's son)
I don't understanf you people comparing human live with animal...
You are saying that ''....and saved many human lives throughout time''
And then you choose to rescue the dog....
Abandon the hungry people in Africa or even the homeless guys in your city and go for the dogs....Good for you.

I would chose the baby who CAN'T swim as opposed to the dog who CAN swim...
What the hell kinda question is that anyways?? Anyone who would save a dog over a baby is sick.
