Why are the Canary Islands in the Pacific Ocean named after dogs?

The Canary Islands literally translates as the Canary Islands, which is actually the Canary Islands of Spain. It is located on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean, not in the Pacific Ocean.

The main island of the archipelago is gran canaria, where the Spanish Canary Dog, one of the top ten fiercest dogs in the world, once thrived. It is a kind of dog developed from fighting dog. Its ancestors may include the endangered Badino Majero and the descendants of the imported English mastiff. This is the name of this island. Why some people translate the Islands into Canary Islands is a coincidence, because they regard the Spanish dog Island canary as an island canary (Canary is English, and its pronunciation is similar to that of the Spanish dog Canaria).
