When I said child I meant child - but OK, a knife-wielding 13yo,
one would still be legally and morally obliged to save the "child" not the bloody dog !
And when you came across this dire, life-threatening emergency situation, of course you would know the "child's" history - perhaps you could even convene a court to help with the decision whilst the human being sinks ................. ?
But gee, then you'd lose the dog anyway.

I contend that we are well and truly within the ambit of
"Babies and Dogs".
It sure has been a learning experience.
The very thought of favouring a dog over the life of a child astounds me.
Some I expected. Others I did not.

"A duty to rescue is a concept in tort law that arises in a number of cases, describing a circumstance in which a party can be held liable for failing to come to the rescue of another party in peril."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_to_rescue
I imagine one's fellow prisoners would make their feelings known during a very long and justified jail term.
Dog haters shouldnt have asked the question if they didnt want an honest answer and there it is bashing someone for giveing an honest answer,,
I WONT be bullied into giing the PC answer just as it seems you wont be purseuded into resonable exchanges of views .
So standoff..
I dont really give a toss.
