For you dog owners..

What kind of sick question is this? I would pick my dog seeing as she's always in a good mood, and probably the only thing on this planet that will love me unconditionally. If large amounts of people are watching, someone else can save the guy drowning.
 
Save the dog. Swim to bottom of water and bring human corpse back to my laboratory. Recreate Einsteins monster so if I ever come into a situation like that again I can save both lives.
 
Your thread is false, my dog has the natural instinct to swim. My dog would save the person and I would sit on the shore like a boss watching my dog save someone's life.
 
and assuming that the human is a female i would put her on the back of my dog find a cowboy hat, and ride my dog into the sunset screaming HIGH HO SILVER
 
I could care less if some random chump that can't swim is drowning, maybe that person should've put themselves out into the world more often and learned that skill.
 
I love my dog a ton, but I have to think that a human life is more valuable. I'd go for the person.
 
any of you who'd choose the dog over a human would get legally fucked. for good reason too, a dog life is nothing compared to a human life. fuck, humans can recreate an exact clone of your dog in test tube. can your dog do that? (in before 'my dog can')
 
I'm not talking about getting sued. I'm talking about helping a fellow man to the best of your abilities without putting your life in danger. there are laws for that in most places. saving a dog and not a man could easily get you charged with manslaughter.
 
Pretty sure it would fall under the category of criminal negligence, depending on the distance between the dog and the human, as well as whether or not you were aware the human was drowning. But hey, I'm no lawyer.

 
What if you ended up saving this guy and all he said to you was "Fuck you man, I was trying to get my cheetos"

Now that I think of it my dog would probably think something similar. I'd still go for my dog though.
 
Kind of relevant:

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black mulch, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."

"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly.

"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud of."

And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin.

Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia. What saved him? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said, "What goes around, comes around."

 
I'd save my dog. People suck. My dog is much better than most people.

Same idea, if someone said "save your bike or a person", I'd probably save my bike too.
 
More importantly they're cleverer than humans and would know not to go swimming where they can't.
 
Probably just throw my dog, which double as a frisbee, put to the person drowning but he would probably just cut the guys head off with his sharp, aerodynamic edges.
 
i love dogs as much as the next guy, but if any of you are willing to let another human die before you would sacrifice your pet then you are just a big old idiot.
 
well i have a golden retriever and therefore she would not be drowning however she would definetly lassie his ass and i could just sit on shore and praise her when she drags this nincompoops ass to shore
 
better question:

you and your dog and a stranger are locked in a room and the only way to get out is if you personally stick your hand up one of their assholes to get a key from their colon. so you either stick your fingers in your dogs butt or your whole hand up some random strangers (the keys like, wrist deep or so). and that random stranger is a fat old hairy italian man.

or there is a gun and you can just kill everyone if you want.
 
Definitely. you can't just ask the guy to take it out? and if he doesn't point the gun at him until he does.
 
Me too. I would do a quick profiling of the person, determine if he was a good person ( wife beater and tattoos? Swastika t-shirt?) and then make my decision.

If i saw they were really fat id save the dog too, they might be kicking the bucket in a few years anyways.
