Posted on behalf of Rachel who needs some coaching on how to post images!

Rachel managed to photograph a Sun dog with her Samsung Galaxy S3 smart phone camera, although a bit out of focus.

Sun dogs are an atmospheric phenomenon that consists of a pair of bright spots on either horizontal side on the Sun, often co-occurring with a luminous ring known as a 22° halo.
