Doesn't this now beg the question who would you run over in 1925, Hitler or his dog?
LOL...you're right. Of course, if you have foreknowledge, then that is an easy choice. But if you don't have foreknowledge, do you run over the dog or the guy with the goofy haircut?

Well you did know, actually, I chose 1925 because it's the year Mein Kampf was published.
I adore my cats, but yes, I'd save the man. Unless it was Hitler or his ilk. Dictator's going down!!
Cat person here. They're smarter, cleaner, and lower maintenance. Dogs are OK, but I have no desire to have one...too much work, the yard becomes a big minefield of dog poop, and the house smells like dog.
I generally like cats better. Just a short haired tabby will do. Low maintenance. But I've had some cats in the past that were a real pain in the backside. Animals, like children, are all different and have different personalities. Some are laid back and some just have ADD or some other mental issue. Some just sit around looking out the window and some are always into something and looking for trouble.
Prior to meeting my wife she had promised her daughter that if they ever lived in a house that they could get a dog. I'm not a dog person at all. So I said that if we had to get a dog at least make it a small one. So we got a Chitzu/Palmaranian mix. That is the dumbest dog ever. I swear I will never have another dog. The damn thing barely knew her name for the first 3 years, was nearly impossible to house train (will still dump in the floor without informing you of her desire to go outside), has to be groomed regularly, etc etc. I never knew having a dog would be such hard work. With cats you just show them where the litter box is and it's like they know exactly what to do with it without any effort at all.
Okay, I call 'baloney' on that one. You are driving down the freeway. A grown man and a dog are standing in the middle of the road. There's no way you can stop, and you'll hit one of the two. Which one do you hit?
Since were going the hypothetical route, I'll say it depends. I'll hit whoever poses the least amount of danger to me. Assuming that there are no other vehicles or steep embankments, I'll hit the dog because there would be less of an impact. However, if I'm driving next to a 18-wheeler and see the two, I will whoever I can swerve into without hitting the truck. If I'm sandwiched between two vehicles and there is no way for me to swerve into another lane without hitting a car or truck, I'll just have to hit both of them.

Maybe you shoudl invest in some training for your dog? Also sweeping statements are annoying. Different breeds have different needs both of cats and dogs. Some cats need to be groomed, some dogs don't.
Our small dog needs to be groomed occasionally too. Why didn't you know this before you got the dog? Our dog on the other hand is super easy to deal with. Very like a cat in many ways - does tricks, doesn't bark, shed or chew up stuff that isn't hers and is generally a delight to be around.
We went to training courses and still occassionally go, just because she enjoys it. If you don't want to spend the time training your dog to go to the bathroom in the right place, then why on earth would you get a dog? I just don't understand this.

See, that's another big difference in the war between dogs and cats - dogs, for the most part, need training - cats just know.
Cats, dogs, people - I can deal with most of them, but the one critter I can't take as a pet is - finches. Those cute, tiny little birdies that are so colorful? I had a few many, many years ago - they act like little Woody Allen's - if you so much as cough in the same room as their cage they'll go ballistic and bounce around like a bomb just went off. I swear, they're little feathered freaks with major complexes.
