First read this article and then tell us your thoughts...
Is a Dog's Life Worth More Than a Person's? | Psychology Today |
In the scenario described in the article, I
would probably head for my dog first since that's what would catch my eye. Once I saw the tourist I'd break off to try to save him. Hopefully we don't all get hit by the bus. If it were someone else's dog; unless I had been paying attention to the dog beforehand I'd go straight for the tourist since I wouldn't be focused on the dog.
In a situation where there is a bit more time to react, say both the dog and tourist are struggling in the water, I'd go for the tourist without question.
