Sylvia offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age; as Greg becomes more and more attached to the pooch, we explore the relationship between man and dog, man and wife, and wife and dog. Filled with lots of laughs and thoughtful insights, Sylvia is a unique and perceptive look at modern love.
