I suppose if there was any angelic counterpart to a hellhound, it won't literally be a dog, perhaps a majestic beast like a gryffin or a sphynx would sound more appropriate.

In some interpretations of the Bible, Ezekiel saw four separate living beings with wings and full of eyes (ox, lion, etc.) and such are creatures separate from angels as opposed to other interpretations of those four animals fused together into one being and classified as a Cherub. If one is to follow the first interpretation, those animals are akin to hippogryphs/gryphons/gryffins/sphinxes.
