I might choose the human baby or I might choose the dog. In a perfect world, all other than human animals would be free of human interference, dogs and cats would part of the ecological scheme. I take responsibility for everything that happens to me. Everyone can pull themselves up. I have more sympathy for animals because they don't deserve anything that happens to them.
