Well, I agree that it is a fine balance. They could have reported the stray dog's location to the RSPCA or local dog warden and moved on. Or - in my view a more humane reaction - they could have taken the dog in the ambulance but kept him suitably restrained (so he couldn't get near the patient). However, it is easy to be wise after the event and I think the ambulance staff were compassionate in the circumstances.
