Most things are all Greek to me, not only but also:
The Sea Peoples, the purported seafaring confederation that attacked ancient Egypt and other regions of the East Mediterranean prior to and during the Late Bronze Age collapse (1200–900 BC)

Naturally the Greeks took with them the dogs of war to defeat the Egyptians who had god on their side, all those cats.
The dogs trounced the cats which is where the dogs learned new tricks from the cats like rolling over and playing dead n such to say nothing of fur ball games which we won’t.
On the way home some ships went adrift out onto the Atlantic beyond Atlantis finally coming ashore in the Canaries, and as they had no cats to set among the pigeons they decided to change the meaning of Canary to the Isle of Dogs instead as a tribute to man’s best friend and first mate who barked out the news of land ho upon noticing the non-migratory birds..
Man was , by this time, largely domesticated so the dogs let them stay.
