In my 20 years of Asking High School Seniors “Would you save your dog or a

stranger first if both were drowning?”one- third always vote for the dog, one-

third always vote for the stranger, and one- third always find the question

too difficult.

But the second question is even more interesting to me. I ask the students who

voted to save the person, “Are the students who voted to save the dog wrong?”

Not one student has ever said that the others are wrong. Their argument is

always the same: “Listen, I personally feel that I should save the person, but

they feel they should save their dog.”
