I posted it before I looked at the link that Mario posted. That is basically the same lock. I did see one that was a little different at a gun shop a couple years back - I wish I had taken a closer look...

i have used dog locks a couple times
  They were used  in colonial America.
 Mostly you will find them on  smooth bores . And some fowlers like the Hudson Valley .
 As you can see ,  in Feltwads photos , they are a rather big lock
