[Survey] Male dog peeing preferences - a citizen science project.

Hi. I'm a veterinary pathologist working in the UK, and I have a question which I hope Reddit users will be able to help me answer.

My preliminary results looking at where a certain type of skin cancer (melanoma) occurs in dogs showed a difficult-to-explain difference between cancer rates of the left and right paws, and this was most obvious in male dogs. As such, I wondered if differences in behaviours between male and female dogs could contribute to this. Could male dogs have a preference when it comes to cocking a leg to pee? To help answer this question, I came up with a very short Google survey.

Thanks in advance for participating in this bit of citizen science!
