I'd like to say I'd never leave her, but shit happens. Did you guys see the video of that guy who was on the roof with his wife and kids when the house started to come apart. He held onto his wife as long as he could but she told him he had to let her go to save their kids.

I'd like to think I'd never let go of my husband or my dog, but whenever you say "never", life has a cruel way of finding a way to test that theory.

i didnt see the video of that but i saw the interview with the guy & his kids, that story really was the eye-opener for me.

If your dog could understand, he would want you to leave him and save yourself!

Makes you want to cry, doesn't it?

If it was me and my dog? it would make more sense to stay with the dog.. If i was like being picked up by a helicopter, i would make every attempt to save him , but if they dont let you , they dont let you..

Lets be realistic here, they probably didn't let the guy bring his dog , because it means less room on whatever he was being rescued in , for other human victims..

It may seem cruel , but it would sure seem cruel if your kids drowned because a helicopter full of some old ladies cats and dogs couldn't fit you.

Dogs are usually pretty good swimmers. I would think they could last longer than a human would..

good point.. I guess it becomes a matter of personal choice.. it would be tough, but when you have other responsibilities too you may not be able to make that choice

sometimes you can't allow yourself to be sentimental/attached

and sometimes you have to make sacrifices, even if it hurts to the hilt

i dont have the heart to leave my dogs behind.... they are precious to me & i treat them as family members too. i'd save their lives too, i know they'd do the same to me
