You're choosing to focus on the "LOL this is technically unrealistic" side of things to avoid the main point, which is how you would feel if you knew a stranger had the opportunity to save your kid, but chose their pet instead.
It doesn't matter how the situation transpired. The topic is simply asking how that would make you react.

i've been through a few tragic events and have known many people who have been through many more tragic events. you cannot imagine how you will react to something like your home being destroyed, let alone the loss of a loved one (personally i can't imagine having a child, let alone losing one).

but hey, that cute li'l handicapped dog i sometimes see in the stairwell or coming through the alley is alive? at least there's that. at least somebody didn't lose everything.

i'd console my neighbor and assure him that we're in this together.
