Let start with... Why is it called "WheelDoggy"?
Well, we were looking for a neat name that was not too boring / descriptive (we started with "GoFindDeliver.com (tm)" for a period when we were building the prototype website), but also not too obscure or weird that people would not be able to remember it easily and, more importantly, tell their friends.
We kicked around a ton of ideas and one day ... it just appeared ! Dave (d.Mark "Dave" Wheeler, founder of WheelDoggy) remembered a character in an old movie from the 1960's called "MoonDoggy".
It seemed like a fun, easy to remember name ... it just needed a twist... or more accurately, "a wheel". So that's it... WheelDoggy is insprired by a 1960's movie character, MoonDoggy !

Did you know? (according to wikipedia) ...
A moon dog or moondog (scientific name paraselene,, i.e. "beside the moon") is a relatively rare bright circular spot on a lunar halo caused by the refraction of moonlight by hexagonal-plate-shaped ice crystals in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. Moondogs appear to the left and right of the moon 22° or more distant. They are exactly analogous to sun dogs, but are rarer because to be produced the moon must be bright and therefore full or nearly full. Moondogs show little color to the unaided eye because their light is not bright enough to activate the cone cells of humans' eyes.
