A wizard becomes an Animagus drinking some unknown potion or casting an unknown spell. The Animagus (animal) form is determined by personality traits of the wizard in question. So, Sirus Black's personality must share some traits with "The Grim" or at least a large dog which bears a passing resemblance to a Grim.

Was the big black dog thought to be a grim in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Sirius Black?

Yes- Sirius Black is an animagous, which means that he can transform into an animal (in this case a black dog) at will. He illegally became an animagous when he was at school to help his friend Remus Lupin. Lupin was a werewolf who had no choice but to transform at the full moon. However, his friends decided that in order to make it easier for him and keep him company while he transformed they would transform into animals too. This included James Potter (stag), Peter Pettigrew (rat), and Sirius (dog).
