We had a house fire on July 14th, 2004. My husband, son, and new grandson were gone, only my daughter-in-law and I were at home. When I realized that it was out of hand and had called the fire department all I grabbed was my purse (just like a woman), and I didn’t realize until later that I had grabbed it. Everyone I loved was safe and the rest was just stuff.

I would be very upset with my 13 yr old if he ran into a burning building to rescue dogs. Not that I wouldn’t want the dogs to be safe, I would, but its not worth the risk to my 13 yr old. Would I go back for a truck? No. Dogs? No. A person? Yes. So I will add to Gingerella’s post. Human flesh and blood trumps animal flesh and blood which trumps inanimate objects. So the only thing that would get me back into a burning building would be a person.

What things are worth risking your life for? In terms of the article, definitely the dogs were more important to save versus the truck, IMO. Flesh and blood will always trump inanimate objects in my book.
