I wonder how many dog lives compared to human lives median adult chose.

Would be a highly theoretical question, but let's hope it would still be «infinite». In practice, killing all the dogs (somehow) would almost certainly result in a significant number of human deaths, widespread suffering, and general chaos.
But we could go deeper to find some place where we can draw the line.

E.g would you save 10000 family pet dogs or an old person in pain who will die within a month for sure?
