Canis Major's snout (6)

I believe the answer is:

sirius

(Other definitions for sirius that I've seen before include "The Dog Star that follows the hunter Orion" , "The Dogstar" , "One very bright" , "The Dog Star, brightest of the fixed stars" , "Brightest star in the sky" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
