The Dog Days of Summer Covers
It's the Dog Days of Summer, that hot time of year when, according to one 19th century writer, "the seas boiled, wine turned sour, dogs grew mad, and all creatures became languid." And while there's some debate about when exactly the dog days occur (July 24-August 24 for the Ancient Romans, July 3-August 11 according to The Farmer's Almanac), we think it's a good time to look at magazine covers featuring dogs. Here are some of our favorites.Send us your favorite dog magazine covers and we'll add them to this collection, but please, don't send us the National Lampoon "Buy This Magazine or We'll Shoot This Dog" cover!
