Let's say...
You're standing on a dock that sits over a lake.
You see your pet and a stranger drowning, your pet on the left and the stranger on the right. They are both the same distance away from you.
You only have time to save one, so you must choose. [b]There's absolutely no way to save both of them.[/b]
So who would you save?
-
Stranger, obviously. It would very hard to deal with considering it's YOUR pet and you feel responsible for keeping it safe, but you'll get over it eventually. What I wouldn't get over is knowing a family lost a love one for a pet.
