Like I said, we're obviously different people.
To give you an example, our in-home fire plan has one of us getting our son out first, once he's safe, my wife & I are both in agreement that we get the pets out next, even if it means leaving each other to fend for ourself. It's been discussed over the years numerous times, we've always been in complete accord on that subject (which is pretty rare for us), and we both come down to the exact same place each time.
Each of the pets I've had over the past 15 years or so is as much family in my heart as anyone else. And higher on the list than the vast majority of the people I know (which would not bode well for all but less than a dozen people, relatives or otherwise).
