Yes, Sirius is a star, not a sign of the Zodiac.
It is called "The Dog Star" because it is the
brightest star in the constellation,
Canis Major, which means "Big Dog".
This should not be confused with the constellation,
Cannabis Major, which means "Big Oracular Vision."

This is Canis Major.
If you look closely, you'll see the faint outline of a dog
whose nose is pointing to the top of the image.
Can you find Sirius?
