I have always assumed it was a recent name and referred to the
similarity with the pot dogs people always used to have either side of
the mantelpiece, or the fireplace, i.e. objects either side of a hot
bright thing. Oh well.....

Why should that theory be excluded? A favourite place for pets and a
weatherlore in themselves, the habits of cats and dogs were often taken
as
precursors.

Interesting that the article pointed to the behaviour of the weather in
latitudes near 30 degrees, we get torrential rain up here nearer the
60th
parallel when we see noon sundogs or is that sungods?

I don't know what the morning sightings forecast. What happenend next?
Anyone know?
