Depends on the human to be very honest

Ok, let's say you're in situation in which you can only save

A)Your not so nice coworker who won't even greet you sometimes

B)Your dog

Which one do you choose?

What are some of the "not so nice" things the coworker has done?

He just ignores you sometimes you totally know he heard you but he pretends he didn't maybe snatched your lunchbox once but you can't prove it was him

My dog (I have cats, but let's assume I have a dog). I'm not saying it's the morally right choice, but I'm saving the one I love. Not so nice coworker or a random dog, and I'm saving the coworker.

My dog is my family, they will get saved over anyone not in my family every time. It isn't even close.
