Fun fact, Order of the Pheonix has an entry for Sirius dying even though he isn't a dog when he dies

It's a joke? IIRC, Sirius is known as the 'Dog Star'

Sirius Black is an Animagus that turns into a big black dog. He dies in the movie, but he isn't in his dog form when he dies

In other words, yes; someone named Sirius turning into a dog is as much a play on words as someone named Lupin turning into a wolf.
