The name Sundog has double significance for us here at Sundog Solutions. The first is an ode to my trusty companion Milo. I came across him as a puppy over a decade ago while travelling in the Caribbean and spent the rest of my time there figuring out how to bring him home with me....the rest is history.

The second significance is found behind the meaning. A sundog is a concentrated patch of sunlight occasionally seen about 22° to the left or right of the Sun. Sundogs often form in pairs on either side of the sun when sunlight refracts through icy clouds containing hexagonal platecrystals aligned with their large, flat faces parallel to the ground. Technically known as parhelia (singular parhelion) they are often white but sometimes quite colorful, looking like detached pieces of rainbow, with red on the inside, toward the Sun, and blue on the outside.
Although beautiful, spotting a sundog is often an indication that foul weather is on its way. At Sundog Solutions we strive to provide services that allow clients to take a proactive approach to emergency management in order to mitigate the impacts of disaster.
