I would say that makes sense if only because more people have had personal experiences with pets dying as opposed to children dying.

I've never personally dealt with a child's death, so seeing it in fiction isn't going to bother me because it isn't going to make me think of something that happened in real life. I have, however, had multiple pets die on me, and it's far more likely that a scene like that will end up making me feel sad for the rest of the day if I'm not prepared for it.

This! Most people have had a pet die and it's an inevitability every pet owner must accept. Meanwhile, having a child die is the ultimate nightmare scenario and as such, almost unthinkable. Thus it makes sense that people would have a stronger emotional response to a death they have experienced/know they'll have to one day than something they struggle to believe could ever happen to them (and hopefully won't). I'm pretty sure that in a real-life situation where they could save either a pet or a baby, most people who have stronger emotional responses to animals in peril in fiction would still save the baby. It's just that in fiction more relatable situations tend to be more effective.
