Good references, Marco. Very interesting connection.
I have noticed that there are many "dog-lions" in early medieval art—ambiguous figures that are in lion poses (sometimes with long claws), except they have long muzzles like dogs (and sometimes no manes).
The ambiguous VMS pond critter in the bottom-right reminds me of some of them.
