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?

My dog is a leftie, for sure. Anytime he touches his face, raises a paw to ask for pets, or pees, he favors using his left paw.
Same with my cat. Sometimes when he’s lying on my chest, he tries to “pet” me on the face, which is not fun as he has claws, so I pin down his left paw but he never ever uses his right for this.
My cat does the same thing, but uses both paws like the little troll he is.
