Rotterdam architecture (#0202)

I was looking for something else, so shot this picture quickly in passing. Looking at it later, I realized the architecture here is more complex and symbolic than I had noticed. The church is Het Steiger (the jetty) Saint Dominic and, from what I can interpret, sheep and dogs are symbolically important Dominican thought. The webpage for the church describes some of the architecture and symbolism:
