Actually, it just said building collapses before you can run back in. But that doesnt mean we know its going to collapse.

The fact that it said that it all informs your response, though. Again, everyone answering this poll knows that in saving the dog they're condemning the baby to die or vice versa.

The childs parents would also be dead... According to the question

Grandparents? Siblings? Other extended family?

Hell, even if you knew for a fact that the parents were dead and the kid had no other surviving family, saving the child is still the better option.

If were still talking about this scenario, youd be risking your childs life to save this other child, as well...

If that's your logic, you'd be risking your own child to save the dog too. However, at no point in the question does it say you or your child are at risk from this rescue attempt, otherwise I could at least see the logic in leaving both the dog and the other child behind to ensure your own child's survival.

Also if it was my own kid my response would be completely different.

By saying this, you've basically just affirmed your own selfishness.
