He should've stayed with his dogs - no matter what.
As a dog owner, I was disgusted with the way Paul Walker's character left his dogs and I quote, "we tightened their collars so they couldn't escape". He was told the plane would return straight away so why wouldn't he stay for a few hours? Had he stayed, being human, returning to the base would've been a priority anyway regardless of the weather conditions.
This movie made me so angry.
