Congratulations to sixth grade student, Elley Colledge, for competing in the Nebo District Science Fair and moving on to State. Elley did her science fair project on Left or Right Pawed? Her question was; Do dogs favor one paw over the other like humans? Her brother brought home a dog as they were teaching him tricks they noticed he continually favored one paw over the other and wondered if other dogs did too. Elley decided to find out so she tested 10 different dogs, ranging from size, age, and gender. She did several tests on each dog. She found that 6 out of the 10 dogs she tested favored one paw over the other, therefore Elley's Hypothesis is that dogs do favor one paw over the other, therefore are left or right pawed like humans are right or left handed.
