It's a cave drawing on Mars of a dog with a lariat riding something, maybe pulling a chariot, clearly about to rope a hydra.

Martian Memories - October 2005
Spirit, from the summit of Husband Hill, spends three days capturing, in three sessions, a 360° panorama of Gusev Crater: the Everest Panorama. Here are the raw images mosaics.

Check out this post by NASA Science about the Comanche outcrop: it contains a mineral indicating that a past environment was wet and non-acidic, possibly favorable to life.
