cusotm sort in order by

I like to sort the rows of a table in a custom order of a column. Say the table T(A,B) has values for B as
'Snake' 'Dog', 'Horse', 'Elephant'.

I would want the select to list the values in the order
'Dog' 'Hosrse' 'Snake' 'Elephant'. (** Not in ASC or DESC orders)

Would appreciate any help.
