Do cats and dogs have a dominant front paw, left or right? Bonus question: If so, are the statistics for dominance similar to that of humans?

Here’s some anecdotal data. I am on a Flyball team with my 3 year old cattle dog mix (really fun relay dog sport!) and when starting to train we test which way the dogs will turn after getting the ball. Most of our team dogs will turn to the right, but we have a few that turn to the left. We call them righties and lefties! For us it’s all good so long as they can do a safe turn on the box.
