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!

Some people love their pets to the extent that they think of the pet as a part of the family, and they care for them jusst like they would take care of their own children. When a person has this close of attachment to their pet, then they will even risk their own life to save their beloved pet.
People have died while trying to get back inside a burning house to try and save their little dog or cat. And this love is also returned by the pet, in many cases. There are many stories of dogs saving theor owners from drowning, and waking them up in time to escape from a house fire.
While not everyone feels that much of a bond with their pet; the people who do would undoubtedly rescue their pet before anything else, probably even another unknown human.
It is not necessarily true that they prefer animals over people in general; just that they love their own pet like it was part of the family, and so would rescue it first.
