So answer the question. If you had been the patient, what would you
want to happen? Dead dog or dead you?

Dead dog every time, and don't stop afterwards!

But my point wasn't the relative value of human life over animal life,
rather could the ambulance driver have avoiding running it over if it
hadn't been a dog?

Not in this instance.

- If so then why not avoid the dog too and therefore avoid having to
stop after the accident?

The particular Zebra crossing was one of those staggered ones with a central
island & barriers, not possible to swerve.

- If not then why does the value of the life in the back of the
ambulance exceed that of anyone who happens to be unable to get out of
the way?
