Dog-in-a-Box, a British company founded in 1967 during the infamous 'Doggy Boom' (a period where the purchase of Dogs around Europe sky-rocketed) was founded by Wolfgang ' the Jack ' Russle. During this period the problem of canine transportation was of serious concern to many of Europe's nations and it was clear that a company had to be created to handle this crisis. The 'Canine Transportation Authority of Europe and Asia' (KTAEA)was chosen to handle the problem and, after a brief period of debate, decided to start a company dedicated to shipping Dogs known as 'Canine Carriers'.
