If i only had 15 years left to live and had a puppy I'd sacrafice myself to save that puppy. Mostly because I have no doubt that a puppy, any puppy, will do far greater things in this world than even the greatest human could hope for.
Well points for honesty, and I'm sure many feel the same.
All I know is my puppy (she passed now) **Was** a child as far as i was concerned, absolutely equivelant to a human child in every way except life span. Presuming lifespan were the same I would have saved my puppy and sacraficed a nephew or even myself in a heart beat, likely without even thinking.
@freemo @billstclair @saxnot @Nikita Yeah, I consider my cat to be my family.
I don't have any other family in Israel.
I probably have only 15 years left to live, though I could last for 30, if I follow my mom's side of the family, not my dad's. I would NOT sacrifice myself for a puppy, nor would I sacrifice myself for a million people I don't know, but I WOULD sacrifice myself for my children.
