Both Doctors, whilst caring for their companions weren't terribly bothered about getting them into danger at the expense of the Doctors own curiosity.
Both Doctors didn't particularly want their companions in the first place but eventually grew fond of them.
Just a foot note to my previous post.
The first Doctors quote at the end of
The Dalek Invasion of Earth to his departing granddaughter Susan has more raw emotion to it than a thousand Russell T Davies and Stephen Moffat scripts.
"During all the years I've been taking care of you, you in return have been taking care of me. You are still my grandchild and always will be. But now, you're a woman too. I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. With David you will be able to find those roots and live normally like any woman should do. Believe me my dear, your future lies with David and not with a silly old buffer like me. One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. Goodbye Susan. Goodbye my dear"
[He dematerialises the Tardis, which vanishes. David and Susan leave, Susan dropping her key onto the floor.]
