Saints can be represented by many animals, but the animals they are represented by are most often considered "pure" animals like a dove or a doe.

A NT perspective:Most prominently in the gospels, Jesus likened Himself to their shepherd, and His saints to sheep. For example:

John 10:14 - I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.

John 10:27 - My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

And in Matthew 10:16, Jesus likens saints to three animals:

Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise asserpents and harmless asdoves.
