wolfhound

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'borzoi' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'eat hungrily and harass' is the wordplay.
'eat hungrily' becomes 'wolf' (wolfing is a kind of eating. I am not sure about the 'hungrily' bit.).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'harass' becomes 'hound' (I've seen this in another clue).
'wolf'+'hound'='WOLFHOUND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wolfhound that I've seen before include "Large breed of dog" , "Large dog, maybe Irish" , "Largest breed of dog" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
