Could you seriously stumble upon that situation, untie your dog, then look the person in the eye and say, "Sorry..."? If so, I must say.. IMO, that's pretty screwed up.

I mean in all reality no probably not. (Unless as mentioned before said stranger was a murderer or something, in which case I would totally save the dog) But until I'm in that situation I really can't say. I would probably try to save both. I couldn't untie the stranger and look my dog in the eye be like "sorry dude." I would still go back and try to save him/her too, even if in the hypothetical I would be unsuccessful. If I'm in the situation I may panic in which case I would save no one. I could also be unsuccessful in trying to save either. I really don't know as there's not enough information. (ie if I have to carry a 400lb man off the tracks he'll probably have a very slim chance of survival as I'm not very strong).
