Dogs Shouldn't Be Playing Poker

When the dogs saw their owners, their tails all wagged vigorously with a bias to the right side of their bodies, Dr. Vallortigara said. Their tails wagged moderately, again more to the right, when faced with an unfamiliar human.

Apparently, humans do the same thing, sort of. Maybe that's why there are more righties..
