For the purposes of this scenario, the dog passed out from the smoke and cannot run out beside you.

For the purposes of this scenario, the parents of the toddler have passed out from the smoke.

For the purposes of this scenario, there are no other loopholes or situations that somehow allow you to miraculously save both.

What do you choose?

My dog can never grow up to be Hitler. The toddler could potentially be the next Hitler. Easy choice.

I don't have a dog, so this is a very easy choice.

Mind you, I don't have a kid either, so my first arm would be free anyway.

These scenarios try to play with our morality too much. There is no "right" answer and if this happened IRL any reasonable person would probably try saving both.

Yes I have. But it's a human vs. an animal. And no matter how much I care for an animal, I care more for humans.

My dog loves me as a father. I am my dogs hero. My dog counts on me. My dog is unconditional. My dog will always be by my side, each lick, each paw boop, each happy dance reminding me that I chose to save him.

The toddler? He may shit or piss on my arm why I rescue him, he will cry, his owners may or may not say thanks and I will never see the toddler again, who may grow up to be a politician or something nasty like that anyway.

Dog wins

This.

If I must choose, I would choose the dog. Really any of the dogs I've had would get chosen. They were all great companions.

And your last point is spot on, with the dog I am free from any potential nonsense lawsuit....I save that baby? I might sued for some random BS reason. It's like self defense laws, *You didn't do some random thing before you defended yourself and saved some* and therefore you get 10 years in jail. Fuck that, I'll take the dog that will love me back without question. I'll play the dog was closer and I couldnt get to anyone else card and I panicked and it was a fire and *CRIES STOP JUDGING ME!!!! I NEED THERAPY!!!*

Call my dog so he runs out to me. The kid will hear me too and they're either smart enough to follow or not

My dog, obviously. In a situation like this where all reason would go out the window, of course Im going to pick the one that I've actually got an attachment to.

Who are these random people and Toddler in my house, and what the hell are they doing there? They most likely set the fire so they and their future pyromaniac baby can die together.

I save my dog.

This is a word trick

The dog can never grow up to become Hitler because you'll let them perish in the flames and therefore they'll never grow up. The toddler could because you'll let them survive.
