Dog With Helm

While perusing a digital copy of Heraldry & Floral Forms As Used in Decoration authored and illustrated by Herbert Cole, I saw the following image.
Was this a common practice in heraldic art? I have seen Dan Escott's splendid animals and banners, but this is the first time that I have seen an animal wearing a helm.
Any thoughts?
