In a study conducted by researchers at George Regents University, 500 respondents were told a
hypothetical scenario in which a bus was hurtling out of control, bearing down on a dog and a human
- which do you save?
The answer was that it depended on what kind of human and what kind of dog. If the human involved
was a sibling, grandparent or a close friend all would save the human over a strange dog.
However, when given the choice of saving their own dog vs saving a foreign tourist, 40% would save
their pet and 46% of women chose the dog over a foreign human.

Hmm.. Without.. Barking up the wrong tree, I'll have to say that I would choose human life over that of a dog, regardless of who the person is. I will try to save both the dog and the person, however, human life means a lot to me, to the person I'm saving, and their family.
Wow, that study had a sad end result. Hopefully, none of us will ever be faced with such a scenario.
I didn't know it, Joy.
