Did you know there are three dog constellations?  Look…

1.  Sirius, aka the Dog Star.  This is the brightest star in the Big Dog constellation and is also known as Canis Major, the Greater Dog, and the Dog of Orion.

2.  Canis Minor, aka the Lesser Dog.  Lesser is Orion’s second hunting dog and is much smaller than its mate.  Its brightest star is known as Procyon.

3.  Canes Venati actually represents two dogs: Asterion and Chara.  Both of these are held “on a leash” by Bootes the hunter as they are in chase of the Great Bear around the North Pole.

If you are a dog lover, you may never look at the stars in the same way again.
