Okay so an odd one but as the submitter explained, there's inexplicably depictions out there of St. Christopher (the patron saint of travelers) as a dog, which are known as "Reprobus" and it's believed this interpretation came about because of people mistaking the word "Canaanite" for "Canine", and thus depicting him as a dog-headed creature.

So there ya go, dog man St. Christopher!
