Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

A question Dennis Prager has asked for 30 years

If your dog was drowning in a lake, and simultaneously a stranger was drowning nearby, do you save your dog or the stranger?

30 years ago, Prager said everyone would save the stranger.

Today in 2022, a majority would save their pet and not the stranger.

    So on the news today the state is urging everyone to carry NARCAN. My immediate thought was I don't know any junkies so I'd be carrying it to save the life of an junkie who is a stranger. Pass.

    I think this is were TKS would say "one less".

    What if the stranger were Dazzler or even Dazzler like and it’s Greenlake? I’m going with my dog.

    Now if I’m in the middle of Red country and it’s a kid, I’m gonna have to see my dog in heaven.

    What if I'm in East St. Louis and it's Dazzler?

    If it was MY dog, no question - my dog for sure. Even 30 years ago.

    Prager is usually money but he doesn't appreciate the power of dog.

    Cried more when I lost my last dog than my mom. I fucking loved my mom and was able to prepare for her passing. But dogs, bruh.

    I dreaded the day we had to get a dog for our kids because we bought four eventual devastating heartbreaks
