There are a lot of Dog Towns. Real places, most of them nicknames in California. And then there are towns with the note, formerly Dog Town - all of them in California, too. The nickname likely has to do with surfing and skateboarding, as this was a well-known documentary movie about skateboarding in the 70s.
A real dog town is where prairie dogs live. They also have coteries and clans, and they do a lot of kissing and grooming. Common usage today is for canine pet grooming, animal rescue and computer games involving dogs.
Don't be alarmed for cats, though. Their residence is Kitty City. While there don't seem to be skateboards, movies, or novels with the name, there are games and all manner of products. There seems to be a lot of furniture for cats.
There are many comparisons of dogs vs cats. I will highlight their personality differences with the "bar" joke.
A dog walks into a bar. The dog says, "Gimme a beer." The bartender says, "Wow! You can talk! You should get a job at the circus!" The dog says, "They're hiring electricians at the circus?"
A cat walks into a bar. The bartender says, "what'll you have?" The cat says, "A shot of rum." The bartender pours the cat his drink. The cat slowly pushes the shot off the table. "Another."
