Friday Poll: Dog or Spouse?

Yachtsman and Beloved Terrier

So one reads that a yachtsman first saved his dog from his sinking boat, and only thereafter swam back to rescue his wife:

Graham Anley, his wife Cheryl and their 9-year-old Jack Russell Rosie were sailing from East London to Madagascar for a holiday when their yacht hit a reef in the early hours of Sunday morning, the National Sea Rescue Institute’s Geoff McGregor said.

Anley and the dog swam to shore before returning for his wife whose safety line had snagged on the steering gear.

The Jack Russell was wearing a specially tailored dog life-jacket which has its own emergency strobe light attached to it.

In that situation, which would you rescue first: spouse or dog? I’ll answer spouse.

What’s your pick?

If Graham Anley was my spouse, I would rescue the dog and only the dog.
