It is difficult to answer the question since Canis Major (the great dog) is a constellation, not a single star. The constellation contains a very large number of stars and other cosmic objects which have no astrophysical relationship with one another. It is simply that they are located in such a direction, and are so far away, that they appear to move together. The distances to the cosmic objects that make up Canis Major range from 8.6 light years to 8,400 light years. You can take your pick as to which number in that range represents the distance to Canis Major.
