Got permission from my cats to cover an interesting new study on dog behavior:
A new test for measuring “pawedness” in dogs.

Is there a good reason to conduct a lengthy experiment to calculate my dog's pawedness? No.
Am I going to do it anyway? Very much yes.

North East kind of gives right-pawedness. I winder if there's righties and lefties...even parrots have preferred feet so I wonder if the study really only followed righties.

v!moose -> moose -> p!moose has a height gradient but also a pawedness gradient. v!moose has proper scaly rodent foot-things, moose has regular furry paws, and p!moose has essentially cat paws, minus the claws. claws on a princess is just not proper, you see.

The Best Way to Determine Pawedness in Dogs
Like handedness in humans, dogs show pawedness. But what is the best way to determine whether a dog is left-pawed or right-pawed?

Cats have paw preference. Females tend to use their right paw, males use their left. In rabbits and hares, gender does not play a role in their pawedness.

Ah, Lauren is showing off her left-pawedness in this one. (i am aware that it's out of convenience for the angle, but still)
