The real answer, once I recognized your question when you said ok no gunmen, two burning buildings ...
Ok. First of all you have a property right in the dog. He belongs to you. A stranger you have no connection to. So. Two burning buildings you can be completely justified if you choose to save your dog, which is your property. But. In the coerced example of the gunman, you may incur some liability, criminal liability and civil liability, if you choose your property and thereby arguably assist/accomplice the murder. So I think you are under no obligation to act to save anyone, however, taking any active role which results in a crime can in the most extreme case put you in the role of an accomplice. The Patty Hearst example comes to mind. |
