What if?

What would you do, in this position:
You are far off land, in a very tiny boat, with your best friend, constant companion, the dog. You hear a faint splashing, you squint and see a drowning stranger, struggling to stay afloat-- he's waving at you, almost screaming. Would you-

-kick your dog out into the water and let the stranger in the boat?

-keep your dog in the boat and paddle away from the stranger?

-jump out of the boat, and let the stranger in with your dog?

Is this one of those thinking outside the box kinda quetsions or is just to see how much compassion is in us?! I'd tell him to hold onto the boat and stop panicing and then I'd row the boat in some sensible direction. Like would this be in a hot climate? Cos then it'd be ok for the stranger to stay in the water while I man the boat. Also I'd want to establish if the stranger was safe so I'd try to suss him or her out a bit before jeopardizing myself and my DAWG.

What the hell a stranger do in the water in the middle of ocean? And what the hell am I do there?

Tiamat........have you been on the beer baby?:-)

What do you call a goat in a boat - Billy Ocean!!

What if that stranger was pushed out by the last guy who tried to save him..? I mean how did that stranger get out there in the first place if he's having trouble swimming? I need more details..

I mean, but what about your dog?

That is terrible! eat a dog! cute, loyal, mans best friend?! Eat the stranger instead plus... more meat lol

It's just a question I came across and was bored so decided to post it,MD.No reason really.

No beer unfortunately lol.

Yeah,GL I thinking of some other options popping up with this thing too lol.I found it an odd question mainly because this "boat" is so small,even life preserver boats aren't two people boats really lol so realistically it won't be a give or take thing when really thinking about it.I think the person may have just been looking to see what people do in a life/death situation which technically all three answers are "correct" to do in that case.
