Isle of Dogs / Isle Of Dogs

I know the first is right and I've seen it several times, even being mentioned on Englishgrammar101 but what about the second? I was wondering because names of places are always capitalized, and I've seen examples where words that would usually be uncapitalized were capitalized just because they were part of the place's name, which would lead me to believe "of" in "Isle of Dogs" could be capitalized as well, but that doesn't seem to be the default way to do it. Does anyone here consider that doable?
 
In general, short connecting words in titles and place names aren't capitalised.
