From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  dogcow /dog'kow/ n. See {Moof}. The dogcow is a semi-legendary creature
     that lurks in the depths of the Macintosh Technical Notes Hypercard
     stack V3.1. The full story of the dogcow is told in technical note #31
     (the particular dogcow illustrated is properly named `Clarus').
     Option-shift-click will cause it to emit a characteristic `Moof!' or
     `!fooM' sound. _Getting_ to tech note 31 is the hard part; to discover


     how to do that, one must needs examine the stack script with a hackerly
     eye. Clue: {rot13} is involved. A dogcow also appears if you choose
     `Page Setup...' with a LaserWriter selected and click on the `Options'
     button. It also lurks in other Mac printer drivers, notably those for
     the now-discontinued Style Writers. See
