You may be surprised to learn that the answer is yes. In
Northern Ireland, Dr. Deborah Wells tested 53 dogs. Here's how
she determined whether they were right or left pawed:
- turning over a can that had a treat underneath
- removing a blanket placed over the dog's head
- paw lifting when asked to "give paw."
Dr. Wells also found that female dogs tended to use their right
paws, while males tended to use their left paws.
Pretty cool experiment for you to try at home ____________
