> becoming a pet owner also makes you more likely to want to save an unspecified dog over a unspecified person
From the article:
> In the scenarios involving an unspecified dog, only around 20% of American pet owners say they would choose to save the dog over the person or people
My reading of that data is different from yours. Does a 20% chance of something sound more likely or less likely?
