Interesting Fact About Dogs

Are Dogs Right or Left Pawed?

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.

Mourning a Fellow Dog Lover

It's with great sadness that I write about the passing of a friend of mine, Corey Rudl. Corey was a brilliant man, who helped inspire my dog site. Though I never met Corey in person, I spoke to him on the phone, and he gave me advice on the design of my site. You may not know it, but many of the sites you visit today were created by people inspired by Corey.

Corey and his new bride were also dog lovers and had one of the cutest lab puppies you have ever seen.

Corey will be dearly missed by many.
