One of my favorite mythical creatures is the legendary satyr, the lustful, drunken woodland god. And he definitely has hooves.
Enjoy these whimsical depictions by a god of the art world, Arthur Rackham. He did NOT have hooves.

In Greek mythology Pan is a bucolic fertility god. He is depicted as a man with the horns, legs, hooves & tail of a goat, a beard, snub nose & pointy ears. He is a vigorous, lustful creature concerned for his flocks & herds.

It's important to point if you are talking about a dog, child, cow. Otherwise the fairy that shares its name may turn up and replace it. The Good folk do not like being accidentally summoned by their names. Art: Arthur Rackham
