En excellent guess. Home of acts such as Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins, and Throwing Muses. But not the Smiths.

Another excellent guess lacking in just one crucial aspect. Based in the northeast Kitchenware Records were home notably to Martin Stephenson and Prefab Sprout, but not the Smiths.

The modern movie series phenomenon John Wick is all about one man's love for his dog.
Which famous actor links:

Three huge movies all 20 years apart.
