NBC writer/producer Sharon Sakson dropped us a note to say that PAWS & REFLECT: Exploring the Bond Between Gay Men and Their Dogs, a book she co-wrote with Neal Plakcy, is out this week on Alyson Books, the book division of Planet Out. Included is an interview with Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Edward Albee, who is gay and apparently owns a dog.

Sakson, by the way, is freelance at NBC — not that this book's subject matter is akin to Ann Coulter, but we felt the need to ask considering a Reuters staffer was fired over his.
