The Dog Days originally were the days when the "Dog Star" Sirius rose just before or at the same time as sunrise.
"These are strange and breathless days, the dog days, when people are led to do things they are sure to be sorry for after.".....Tuck Everlasting
"Dog Days were popularly believed to be an evil time "when the seas boiled, wine turned sour, Quinto raged in anger, dogs grew mad, and all creatures became languid, causing to man burning fevers, hysterics, and phrensies" according to Brady’s Clavis Calendarium, 1813." Wikipedia
