The term mutt refers to a mixed-breed dog. It derives from the word muttonhead, suggesting stupidity. The term may be used in a derogatory fashion, or in an affectionate way. A mixed-breed dog might also be called a mongrel, and it is typically the result of random breeding rather than being specifically created from purebred dogs. A mutt is usually the result of generations of mixed-breed dogs or the unplanned breeding between purebreds. Some people believe that breed is very important, and there find it important to identify the ancestors of a dog that's mixed-breed.
Patches of light that sometimes appear beside the sun are called sundogs. The scientific name is parhelion (plural: parhelia) from the Greek parÄlion, meaning beside the sun..Speculation is that they are called that because they follow the sun like a dog follows its master. Sundogs (or sun dogs) are also referred to as mock suns or phantom suns.he sundog's tail is formed by light passing through the crystal at angles other than the optimal deviation angle. Just because they are formed from ice crystals does not mean that sundogs can only be observed in cold climates.
