It's the dog days of summer! Historians say the phrase dates back to the ancient Greeks & Romans, who'd keep track of the seasons by looking up at the sky. The star Sirius was known as the "dog star" - it made up the nose of a constellation shaped like a dog. 📸:GFP student Brooke Richardson, Belize
