No those would be "literal canines", i.e. grammatical assistance dogs.

There was a metal tooth that the shift lock engaged on the shift key below it, effectively "locking" the key carriage in place in the "shifted" position (caps lock for alphabetic characters, the "special" characters for the numerics).
To release it, you either pressed the shift key down, or pressed the shift lock again to "unlock" the shift.
No animals were harmed by the implementation of the tooth :)
