First of all, its a dogcow, and they say Moof.  (Apple legal would like
them to say Moof (TM), but for brevity, we'll just say Moof!)

The complete story behind the dogcow is in Technical Note #31, which no longer
exists unless you have one of the original copies...or unless you can read
it in the Technical Notes Stack V3.1.  To read it, it is NOT that difficult,
but it requires the proper attitude and execution of a particular set of
actions.  Any mistake in this execution (or a sterile attitude) will result
the Clarus (the name of the dogcow) refusing to appear at that time.
 
You need no skill as a HyperCard programmer to find the Note, as that takes
all the fun out of it.  If you are going to look for it that way, you might
as well peek with ResEdit.
