Honestly, as much as I love animals... especially dogs, I feel we've lost our humanity quite a bit. Even just 30 years ago, it was practically unheard of to hear someone prioritizing their dog over another human being, let alone their partner.
I know dogs are man's best friend and are as much a part of the family as others. I also know they're much more loyal all of the time. Humans are no where near as loyal. But logic says that dogs lifespan is not as long as humans, so shouldn't you prioritize based on that alone? It's like choosing between an infant and an old person. Obviously, you should choose the infant. Humans also provide a lot more than dogs can and have much more potential in life.
Again, I'm not saying that dogs are not valuable, but to put them ahead of humans shows that you're likely not all there mentally.

I might go for the dog if it's slipping more and my wife has a good grip and I think there's a very good chance I can save both. I wouldn't dump my wife if she does the same. I might even tell her in the situation: "Save our dog first! "
I dont consider animals anywhere near as important as people. I also know pets are not for me so i dont value them the way others may. I’ve had pets before but im not the type to want pets to live indoors and all of that. I dont like pets jumping up on me or none of that. So yea im saving any person that is not an animal clearly
About a dozen dogs a year fall off our local cliffs, the lucky ones hit the sea and get rescued. Now you can forgive a dog, they get excited at the thought of a swim or chasing a seagull. But there's no excuse for a human, that's just stupidity so I'm saving the dog. Besides its harder to cling on when you've only got paws

my wife. I don't have a dog. If I had a dog and it was hanging from cliff, I'd send my cat to go save it.

my Luna dog would give her life for anyone... especially for the ones I love
If my partner was hanging I'd save them first. If I was hanging I like to think I'd be like: Get the dog!
