Now ther's a coincidence...

 I work at Canary Wharf, which is located in the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs in east London. And why is it called Canary Wharf?

Well it takes its name from one of the berths of the Import Dock which was built in 1936 for Fruit Lines Ltd., for the Mediterranean and Canary Island fruit trade.

OK, so why are the islands call the Canarias?.

Bear with me and you’ll see where I am gong with this.

Now the islands, ‘Islas Canarias’ is likely derived from the Latin term Insula Canaria, meaning "Island of the Dogs. It is speculated that the so called dogs were actually a species of now extinct seals. The dense population of seals may have been the characteristic that most struck the few ancient Romans who established contact with these islands by sea. The connection to dogs is retained in their depiction on the islands' coat-of-arms

So there’s a connection there unintentional it might be but there nonetheless.

Did you see it?

Insula Canaria, = Island of the Dogs

Canary Wharf is in the Isle of Dogs.

Now then, why is it called the isle of Dogs?

The earliest reference to the area as the Isle of Dogs is on a map of 1588. This makes it possible that one of the attributions for the origin of its name, as the place where Henry VIII kept his hunting dogs, could be true.
On the other hand, it could equally well have been a dismissive term. At any rate this early mention rules out another theory, which is that the name comes from the dykes and windmills erected by Dutch engineers in the 17th Century to drain the marsh.
