I met the owners of the Canadian Bow Wow stores at an industry automotive
parts show last year.  Really nice, down to earth bunch of people. We ended
up talking over dinner for a couple of hours about all kinds of stuff, from
VW's to politics and current events.

The two Seattle Bow Wow stores are not affiliated with the Canadian Bow Wow
chain, though.  As I understand it, Bow Wow of Canada licensed the name from
the Seattle operation back in the 70's, but now has nothing to do with them.
