I'm assuming that if both need saving from the train tracks, the neither can control their situations.

So, to tweak the hypothetical: What if it turns out that the stranger on the tracks is a single-mother (husband was killed in Iraq) of three children under the age of ten who will now be orphans because you chose to save your dog? Should that matter? Why or why not?
