For you dog owners..

you obviously don't love your dog, mine is like a child. no better than a child, he is sweet and loyal and will never disrespect/let me down. My dog would swim out and try to save me for his life if he had to. I'd do the same.
 
if your dog can't swim and is in the water it's unfit for survival and should die.

I can't believe people value the lives of their dogs over that of another human. Sad.
 
I know it's all hypothetical but it depends where they're drowning and if you're able to save both of them. If they're drowning in rapids or something then you might be putting yourself in danger as well. And both the human and the dog are going to try and grab on to you if they're having trouble. The person might also be wearing shoes and clothing that could weigh them down. Also, dogs are born ready to swim and can survive in colder water unless it's a shitty little purse dog. But that's irrelevant to this situation because I wouldn't never get a little purse dog.
 
Would you go out of your way to save a stranger before a family member? My dog is a family member. You can go fuck yourself if you think I'm a bad person for wanting to save her over some random stranger that will probably not even thank me.
 
have you seen some of the humans out there? You'd probably risk your life and end up letting your dog drown in the process, only to the have person sue you a month later for inappropriate touching or something like that

No shit my dog can swim forever, but I looked at the question in a different way: what if my dog and a person were both knocked unconscious and drowning - I would still save my dog

p.s. if a person can't swim and is in the water it's unfit for survival and should die too
 
No, I'd have to assume that since my dog doesn't like deep water because his head sinks that the douchetits drowning next to him dragged him out there, so after I go save my dog I'm gonna go dunk that dumbass- and once his lungs are filled with the cool clean water of riteousness he might rethink his habits and life choices.
 
actually, i do love my dog. quite a bit.

and i highly doubt i love my dog any less than you love your dog.

but

human>dog.

any day of the week. 24 hours a day.

its a dog for fucks sake.

you are seriously saying that if a human and a dog were both going to drown that you would save your dog?

Seriously?

seriously serious?

does your dog have a wife and kids?

holy fuck its a sad day when people actually think that their pets life is of more value than another humans.

regardless of who that human is, age, race, gender, family member, complete stranger. period.

it has absolutely nothing to do with HOW much you love your pet.

it has everything to do with doing what is right.

and your point of your dog swimming out to save you is absolutely retarded.

of course he would swim out to save you, you are a human.

the question was, if your dog and another human were drowning, which one would you save?

not, if your dog was drowning would you save it, or in your example, if you were drowning would your dog save you?

you, are exactly what is wrong with people today. you are more concerned with your possesions and well being that the value and respect for other HUMANS goes completely out the window.

you would rather have your dog, because its yours, you own it, then to save the life of another human.

you need to seriously revaluate your priorities in life my friend.

imagine you were drowning, right next to some fucking DOG is also drowning, and someone swam out and saved that dog, and just watched you drown and die.

would you think to yourself, thats ok, i understand, i love dogs too?

no, cause youde be fuckin dead, cause some dickfarmer thought saving his dog was more important than saving you.

people like you seriously fuckin rustle my jimmies.

But seriously, I completely disagree with all you're saying. Everybody in the world, no matter what, this is just a fact, will save whichever will make them happier, of course I would save a dog over a human, although bear in mind this is a hypothetical situation. Dogs don't do bad things, you can guarantee that, not without being provoked/having a bad owner. Humans will though, so I'm going to save what's mine. Sorry that's a pretty horrifically punctuated/worded post.
 
Like I said earlier: my dog is a family member. I would save a family member long before I would save a random stranger. It's not that crazy.
 
Also, you clearly see your dog as a possession, rather than a friend/companion/member of the family, if you think he/she is easily replaceable and worth letting die to save a someone you don't, and may never, know.
 
you are all jumping to alot of conclusions about how i feel about my pet.

which is odd, considering you dont know me, or my dog.

therefore how can you make judgements of how much i love my pet, or that i think my dog is a possession?

i think it is absolutely insane that people would save their pets over another human.

has nothing to do with love or how i feel about my dog.

look at police dogs.

those dogs are trained to do jobs that are considered too dangerous for humans,

why do you think that is?

because humans>dogs.

do you think that those dogs are not loved and cared for??

its greed, thats all.

sure your dog is a family member. i understand that.

but really, the reason why you would save your dog over another human is because it is yours.

why do you care if another human drowns, what good does that person do for you?

its greed.

its selfish really.

and its just fuckin crazy.
 
Got any examples of this? It's because dogs are far faster, braver and have far greater senses.
 
uhhh bro that's cause theyre scary as shit..im sure a few criminals think otherwise when looking down the throat of a 100lb german shepherd with testicles the size of oranges...its not like they send dogs to hostage situations first to try and disarm all the kidnappers or stupid shit like that
 
again let me reiterate what AR6rider said

"You clearly see your dog as a possession, rather than a friend/companion/member of the family, if you think he/she is easily replaceable and worth letting die to save a someone you don't, and may never, know"

Why do you keep typing your posts like it's a poem or song lyrics?
 
Also you have to factor in the responsibility. That's why they call it "your" dog, meaning it's in yor care. That and people fkn suck.
 
I adopted him at the age of 1. We named him Lucky after how lucky he was to be adopted by a caring family. He is the sweetest thing I've ever met.

Sorry to be so cheesy, but nothing on earth is more loyal to me than him, I don't care how smart he is or whatever, he is just such a great animal. It's very hard to explain this, but I hope you get my idea.
 
I bet some of you people are the same ones to say 'but you frightened him' when your dog out of nowhere attacks a stranger walking by. That happened to me once, but i was riding my bike and a dog came chasing after me and starting attacking my leg. I gave it the best kick to the face i had in me and it went running away. That felt good.
 
The dog went running away. Read nope carefully. Also i think my torn up shoe is still at my parent's place somewhere.
 
No my dog was a rescue, and it Bit the shit out of five people. it was definitely my dogs fault, but id still save it over a person.
 
Person 10 times out of 10, assuming I can definitely save one or the other. I bet most of you if you saw a fellow human being crying out for help begging you to save them you would choose the human, at least I hope you would.
 
Possession (linguistics), grammatically expressed relationship such as control-of and ownership.

do you have control-of and ownership of your dog?? yes

i didnt imply possession as in your dog is a inatimate object that you own, such as a tv or skateboard.

its crazy how analytical people get when they disagree.

you would rather rescue your dog, cool, fine, i think its sickening, but its what you would do, and i can live with that.

on the otherside of the coin, i would rescue a human. i thought most people would have this same mentallity. obviously, after reading this thread i was incorrect. or, coincidently, some of the more selfish and selfcentred human beings in the world just happened to congragate in this thread.

i understand people treating and loving pets like family members. what i dont understand is people letting another human die. thats just crazy,
 
As I said before, I treat my dogs like my children. I love them just as much as any member of my family because they are family. So that being said if one of my dogs was drowning I would have the same emotions and feelings as though my dad, brother, or grandma were drowning.
