Abstract
The most well-known example of laterality is humans’ preference in the use of their right or left hand. While other species have been known to exhibit symptoms of laterality, we do not know why this phenomenon occurs or what species may have a unique preference in one side of their body over the other. In this experiment, I observed the paws used in 19 dogs who participated in two tests: the first, stepping over a wall of cans, and the second, walking down a set of stairs.
