that dogs and cats are either right or left handed just like people? 

Knowing what paw your pet prefers is not only interesting and helps you to further understand your pet, it can also make some things easier! For example, if you're trying to teach your dog to shake hands you're more likely to receive positive results if you train them to offer their favored paw.
