People who come in to a shelter to adopt a dog have different preferences on the basis of their own gender.
New York, May 7,2019: Though It may seem that gender issues crop up only among humans but a recent report published by Psychology Today says even our furry friends does not remain untouched. It is presumed that women are affectionate and men are more aggressive and dominant. But this equation does not applies, when it comes on to Dogs.

A recent which was based on research by team of investigators headed by Barbora Vodičková of the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Brno (the second-largest city in the Czech Republic) involved examination of the records of 955 dogs who were adopted out of a single monitored shelter over a seven-year period. Much like the scant findings from earlier research, these researchers found that significantly more dogs were adopted by women than by men (53% versus 47%).
