Cerberus Pictures
Here are some Cerberus pictures. As you know, he is usually represented as a three headed dog which has a snake's tale and a mane of live serpents. The three heads are interpreted as representing either the past, the present and the future, or the three ages of man (youth, maturity and old age).
Here is a "true to life" representation of the hideous dog.
