    Wikipedia: The dog days or dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius (known colloquially as the “Dog Star”), which Hellenistic astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck. They are now taken to be the hottest, most uncomfortable part of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. (Heliacal means it rises with the sun.)

    Sirius, the Dog Star, becomes visible in the northern hemisphere in late summer.

    Because they’re always blaming things on dogs.

    I think that last panel’s thought balloon is going to the wrong dog.
