Well, the lion or the dog at the feet of a knight is not related to their personal heraldry. Any knight regardless of their personal heraldic charges might have a lion or dog at their feet on their effigy. But it in theory universally indicates either valor or loyalty depending on the animal.

Correct, that is what I ment. I have seen a head of a stag at the bottom of one before.

Indeed, nice find!
I've seen the different theories on what the crossed legs and animals mean, but I haven't seen anything that I recall that was a solidified "fact" from historical documentation. I do remember the crossed legs being crusades, but I hadn't read about the animals.
