Because that is the time when Sirius(天狼星),the dog star,rises in the heavens ,they called those hot sultry days dog days.
 We do , too,except that now dog days refers to the sticky hot days of July and Auguest when we feel drained of energy and totally worn our from the summer heat.

遠古的羅馬人認為七月的第一個星期是一年當中的最熱的。
