The wife is insured, can always buy another one.

Not sure, I'd have to check the life insurance policy before answering - may be a close call

The dog, simply because being small they are easier to loose sight of.

The wife surely ,the dog will be dead in a few years anyway. The wife will make the rest of your life a nightmare for saving the dog first.

I speak as a dog owner before the animal rights brigade get on the case.

SWMBO. Can you imagine the paperwork if you lost her? Anyway, I don't have a dog.

Oh hang on. It's a story from the Daily Wail, so it probably bears little relation to what actually happened.

 

[Rigger Mortice]

SWMBO. I could then go out and get a proper dog instead of a snappy Jack Russell. If I want snappy I would still have SWMBO

If he'd taken the wife first, the poor dog would have been left alone and would probably have panicked. I'm sure he trusted the wife to keep a cool head. That's how I'd have sold it anyway.

Actually a Jack Russell is so small he could probably have thrown the damn thing ashore.

Exactly. I'm sure there wasn't a simple either-or choice coming down solely to which he preferred.

Probably the lady was quite capable of abandoning ship under her own steam. Hubby took the dog ashore. Some journalist took those two facts and added one and one together to get about 17.

Of course it's the silly season in the Street of Shame, and none is sillier than the Wail.
Meanwhile everyone's assuming that Mr Anley was the skipper. For all we know Mrs A was in charge. Or even Rosie.

 

[Twister_Ken]

If the K9 is called Rosie, surely that makes it a Jacqueline Russell?

No need to rush though....

 

[chewi]

How do we know mans best friend is his dog?

Lock dog and wife in the car for a while, then when you come back, see which is most pleased to see you!

 

[DownWest]

Don't have a dog, just two cats. So problem would be: If I didn't save the cats, and wife survived, my life would be over....

Luckily, unlikely to happen, as both the moggies have yet to sniff the oggin and view boats as lounging beds around the garden.
