Dogs 101 to feature NYC greyhound Rescue: Shiraz of 'Leashes and Lovers'

Animal Planet’s Dogs 101, which will air this Saturday, November 6, at 8 PM ET, will feature a well-known NYC greyhound, Shiraz, and owner Sheryl Matthys. Shiraz, a rescue, inspired Sheryl to form the dog social networking group Leashes and Lovers, through which dog lovers meet others of their kind, and later was the inspiration behind her best-selling book, “Leashes and Lovers: What Your Dog Can Teach You About Love, Life and Happiness.

In her book, Sheryl encourages dog lovers to let your dog lead the way to successful relationships by asking the question, “What Would My Dog Do? Sheryl shares tips and stories told by celebrities including Cesar Millan, Howard Stern, Rachael Ray and others. The book covers life’s spectrum on how one’s dog impacts dating, friendships, breakups, bereavement, and even family ties.
