Do you care about your pet more than you love other humans?
I found this interesting article online today:

http://www.wired.com/2015/04/people-care-pets-humans/

Basically, the article talks about why people care more about their pets than other humans. It mentions research that has been done that asked whether people would save an animal over another human. In a certain study, participants were asked who they would save in the path of an oncoming out of control bus - and forty percent of them said they'd save their own personal pet at the expense of a foreign tourist.

I thought it was interesting. What do you think? If your pet was at risk of being hit by a bus and you could choose to save them or a stranger, what would you do?

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts!
