Do we have dog days of summer in
the Philippines?  Because it sure is
scorching hot in this side of the world. 
When I was younger, I have always thought that the phrase relates to
dogs looking for a shade under the tree, sleeping all day, giving him enough
water and this dog supplement to stay healthy in the heat.
Surprisingly, this phrase has
nothing to do with dogs.  It is all about
Sirius, the Dog Star (Now I know why Sirius Black, Harry Potter’s godfather,
turns into a dog!).  Sirius is a star in
constellation Canis Major and is one of the brightest stars in the sky. You
will know the Dog Days have finally arrived when Sirius, the Dog Star, begins
to line up with the sun. 

A long time ago, people believed
that when Sirius lines up with the sun, they will generate an energy that will
practically make the weather “burn”.  Of
course, Sirius is so far away and its heat would have no effect on earth.
In July and August, the stars
beyond the sun include the Dog Star Sirius. 
The heat wave in these summer months in the Northern Hemisphere is then
described as “the dog days of summer.”

    I thought that dogs have particular days for enjoying the summer season. I didn't know about what the phrase really meant.
