People or Dogs?

Do you Love Dogs more than People?
A survey in 2017 the question asked was that if you had a choice to Save a Human or a Dog not both, what would you do?
The surprising results stated that over a 3rd of the people questioned would save a Dog.
One of the qualities Humans we possess is empathy, and this is very similar to the emotion that we have for Children suffering.
Also, a social experiment was undertaken, where 256 students were given a newspaper article, where an unknown assailant attacked a victim, who was seriously injured and these were a
Puppy, 6-year-old Child, and a 30 years old adult.
A questionnaire to measure Empathy and distressing emotion was undertaken.
To make this scientific, an MRI scan was performed on Mothers whilst looking at Photographs of Children and Dogs.
The response was very similar.
Interesting!

Empathy
One of the many powerful qualities Humans have is Empathy and there is no getting away from that.
Look at the Funeral of lady Diana Spencer, and the many people grieving, from the Public to many of the wonderful Police working that day.
On the same token, we can have “Empathy overload” or a form of desensitization towards the suffering.
