These statues that look like dogs are Nghê, traditional Vietnamese mythical guardian animals. They’re closely related to the Kỳ Lân (often translated as “unicorn” in English), which in East Asian culture is a composite creature—not a horse with a horn. Nghê are typically dog-like and symbolize wisdom, morality, loyalty, and protection, making them especially appropriate for Confucian sites of learning. So they look like dogs, get called “unicorns” in translation, and both descriptions are culturally correct.
