Sun Dog Mythology

A sun dog is a copy (or follower) of the sun, usually at 22 degrees from the real sun. Like a rainbow (from liquid water), it indicates water (usually hexagonal ice crystals) in the atmosphere other than water vapor.
As Chaska Ñawi said, such indications of weather to the west are good predictors of weather to come, so sayings about "red sky", "sun dogs", "rainbows", "ring around the moon", etc., in the west do not really qualify as myths.
