What Does The Dog Days of Summer Mean?

I have always heard the saying "The Dog Days of Summer", but I never knew what it meant. According to the Farmers Almanac, it is the 40 days from July 3 to Aug 11th. This coincides with the morning rise of the Dog Star, Sirius. I'm not an astronomer so check out this link https://www.almanac.com/content/what-are-dog-days-summer. I do know that it is some of the hottest days around.
