I've never studied double stars before so I wasn't sure of this one, but I'm getting more convinced it is the mate of Sirius.

Look at this second image and you will see more stars.
The one at 5 o'clock to Sirius is GSC 5949:2774 and is 5'27" away.

The image scale is 3.29 arc secs per pixel, a cropped image taken with a
QHY8 using a ZS 80 II ED 'scope.

I hope this will help confirming.
