Where does the term sky dog come from pertaining to weather?

There is no formal or widely used term "sky dog" that pertains to weather phenomena; however, "sundog" is a legitimate weather word. It refers to a "false sun" or bright spot of light beside the sun that can occur during some weather conditions. There may also be two sundogs, one on either side of the sun, as well as a bright "halo" that connects all three. A sundog is formed by refracted light from ice crystals from very high or very cold cirrus clouds. There are several theories about the origin of the word "sundog". The simplest guess is that the phenomenon is called this because it "dogs" or follows the sun. Some suggest that it was derived from "dag," the Norse word for mist. Others say that sundog is based on a Norse constellation, depicting two wolves following the sun, one on each side.
