According to a report on MSN Now, almost half of Americans would save a dog before a foreign tourist. A recent paper from George Regents University described a hypothetical scenario to more than 500 people: A bus is speeding toward a dog and a human. Which do you save? Most responses reportedly came down to: What kind of human and what kind of a dog? Wait, it gets better. While everyone would save a sibling, grandparent or close friend instead of a strange dog, but if it were a distant cousin or their own dog, the dog is the winner. And, 40 percent of those surveyed, including 46 percent of women, would save their dog over a foreign tourist.
Does this surprise anyone? Not me. But there are some lessons to be learned here. First, if you are a foreign tourist, stay away from dogs if you happen to be around buses. And, maybe you should dress like a non-tourist - green hair, baggy pants, and lots of pierced body parts. Next, dogs should be on the look out for tourist so they will be better protected. Finally, there is a chance that if the dog is really cute, it won’t matter who the human is to a woman.
From now on when I walk the new puppy, I’m tying the leash to myself.
That way, they can’t save one without the other.
