A dog? but it has hooves? As for the Robin Hood, are you referring to this one: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1129/1240188079_bf14c9c45d.jpg?v=0

It’s a howling dog which was used as a design feature to commemorate one of the architects, John Mead Howells. (A Robin Hood was used to commemorate the other architect, Raymond Hood.)
