Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
Taken from Chapter 4: On the farm The "dog days" of summer Today some people believe that the hottest days of summer are called "dog days" because heat can make dogs irritable. The early settlers knew the real secret of this phrase. They kept track of the movements of the stars. They knew that Sirius, the Dog Star, rises with the sun during the hottest time of the year.
