The Plague Dogs by Douglas Adams - keeps the dogs very much as dogs.
Wind In the Willows - Kenneth Grahame. The animals are very amorphous, with Toad driving a car and being locked in prison.
A Cat Called Alfie, very much from the cat's point of view. There is a series of these books, best read in order. Author: Rachel Wells.
The Nine Lives of Christmas - Sheila Roberts. This is very much from the cat's pov. The cat is a cat, not a substitute human.
Many years ago, my third year BA uni thesis was about the personification of animals in literature and its various forms. This was a very long time ago. The drunken elephant in Rosy is My Relative (Gerald Durrell) is very funny, but this is not from Rosy's pov. Still a fun read though.
