"Doggie/doggy dog world" is an old, well-known eggcorn, but I still wonder
what the owners of the DBA's,

"Doggie Dog World" and "Doggy Dog World"

had in mind. Were they just joking? Or were they serious?

Youneverknow.

I've noticed the a lot of people write "the" for "that." Though I do the
myself, I can't winkle out the reason for the.
