Sometimes an animal (or two animals) can symbolize a character or characters (humans or anthropomorphized animals) in a work. If the characters are human, these animals will generally be their pets, but in works of fantasy it's not uncommon for the characters to be transformed into animals and have to work together to return to safety and human form, learning more about each other along the way.
The most common form of this trope is the portrayal of two animals whose relationship mirrors or symbolizes the relationship between their owners.
Can be case of Truth in Television in that pets' behaviour tends to reflect their masters' moods.

In the new Samurai Jack season, the subplot for one episode is about a lone white wolf encountering three alien tigers and fighting them. Once the battle was over, it's become a bloody massacre with all three tigers dead and the wolf just barely still alive. It's parallel to Jack trying to evade the Daughters of Aku before killing one of them and passing out from blood loss.

Bleach:
Yoruichi and Soi Fon are symbolized by the cat and the hornet respectively. Yoruichi's personality is playful, and somewhat fickle, much like a cat's; in addition to her unexplained ability to actually turn into one, at will. Whereas Soi Fon, who's name literally means "break/broken hornet", has a personality befitting her namesake; being that she's slow to anger, yet deadly when provoked. This is also reflected in her zanpakuto, Suzumebachi, which is named after the asian hornet. The chapter in which they fight is even titled "Cat and Hornet".
Harribel was introduced as a villain she's a damsel in distress in the final arc. In her battle with Hitsugaya, the battle was heavily themed on dragons and sharks, even being commented on by the characters during the fight. Hitsugaya's power partially transforms him into an ice dragon and Harribel's nature is that of a shark. Both of them rely heavily on the amount of water in the atmosphere for their battle, but their fight consists of seeing who will soar and who will sink, with the observations being it's good when the shark sinks, but the dragon's in trouble when it happens to him, whereas the dragon prefers to soar, and that's trouble for the shark.

The Disney version of Pocahontas does this with the title character's raccoon and the Englishman's dog. These two animals serve as a symbolic representation for the friction between the natives and English settlers. By the end of the film, the animal mascots are friendly, and all hostilities are seemingly resolved between the two peoples.

She's Come Undone:
Whales appear literally and metaphorically throughout the book. At first it's hurled as an insult at Dolores's size. Then, she feels compelled to go on a trip to a place with a beached dead whale. Later on, she comes to identify whales with power, freedom, and nurturing.
To a lesser extent, dogs are used to evoke male misogyny and violence after Dolores is raped near a dog pound and comes to associate the violent barking of the dogs with the assault.

Folgore from Zatch Bell! reveals that of any animal, he identifies himself with the hippo. Kanchome laughs at this and says that he'd rather be cool like a lion. This comes to prominence during a battle later, when Folgore reveals his backstory as a "lion man" who would fiercely attack anyone and scared away even those he wanted to protect. After watching a TV show about hippos, he realized that while hippos look goofy and are normally docile, they can even overcome lions when they need to. Kanchome, who was drunk on power to the point where he was brutally torturing his enemies and even terrifying his own allies, then realized what Folgore meant.

There are two villains in Disney's Tarzan: Sabor, a leopard who kills Tarzan's parents, and Clayton, a poacher aiming to kill Tarzan's adoptive gorilla troop. Clayton is introduced after Sabor dies, and is designed as a humanized version of her—his yellow outfit evokes the beast's fur, and he becomes just as ruthless and feral in the end.

Teddy Roosevelt symbolizes America with the American Grizzly: proud, intelligent and ferocious, but also a bit reckless. Roosevelt himself is frequently symbolized by the "wind" of the title.

In Lords and Ladies, Mr Brooks the Lancre Castle beekeeper tells Nearly-Queen Magrat some interesting facts about bees, including that, while they'll attack wasps approaching the hive, they get confused if one is already inside, and that two queens in the same hive will always fight each other to the death. Later on, Shawn Ogg gets confused by the fact the elves are in the castle, Mr Brooks uses his wasp-spray on some elves while directly comparing the two, and finally Magrat attacks the Elf Queen while thinking "Only one queen in a hive! Slash! Stab!" And, of course, Granny Weatherwax's Moment of Awesome in that book is Borrowing a swarm of bees.

Game of Thrones (and by extension A Song of Ice and Fire) has quite a lot, with wolves generally representing the heroic Starks, Lions for the Lannisters, and Stags for the Baratheons. In the very first episode, the Starks find a dire wolf that died killing a stag to provide for its children. Given that the first season is entirely based around the Stark and Baratheon households accidentally destroying each other and themselves, the symbolism can be seen as a bit heavy-handed.

Another example from the same fandom is based on an incident in the same episode, "In the City", where Phoebe and Arnold have been transformed into foxes, Arnold gets stuck and Phoebe has to clamp his tail in her mouth and drag him out. This becomes a symbolic Call-Back in a number of fics by the ultimateSora. However, unlike the Carlos/D.A. example, this one is less about chaste romance and more about ...y'know, the other thing...

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the violent relationship between Hermione's cat Crookshanks and Ron's rat Scabbers triggers and comes to symbolize the breakdown in their owners' friendship. Of course, "He's not a rat. He's a man."
Ron's decision to check whether or not Crookshanks likes the owl Sirius gives him at the end of the book symbolizes Ron and Hermione's repaired friendship.
Harry's Patronus is a stag because so was his father's, and his father could transform into a stag.
James Potter's Patronus is a stag. Lily Evans' is a doe.
Snape's Patronus is a doe because he's in love with Lily.
In Half-Blood Prince, Tonks' Patronus has changed to become a werewolf because she's in love with Lupin.

In both the film and novel of The Horse Whisperer, Grace gets in an accident while riding her horse Pilgrim one day (an accident that also kills her best friend Judith). Grace also loses her leg while Pilgrim is badly injured, as well as badly traumatized. Grace's mother, Annie, kicks off the plot by driving Grace and Pilgrim to Montana to have Tom Booker, the title character, take a look at Pilgrim because she knows Pilgrim's recovery is tied to Grace's recovery (though in the film, she never says this out loud).

In The Evil Wizard Smallbone, the titular evil wizard tells Nick that his name is Foxkin now because it suits him. Nick, who is a clever, mischievous, and unscrupulous orphan, later learns how to shapeshift into a creature that matches his nature, a fox. Throughout the novel, Nick appears to be the only apprentice the cantankerous Smallbone can put up with. Near the end, it's revealed that the creature who best matches his nature is also a fox, though his is a red fox as opposed to Nick's gray fox.

Frasier:
The episode "You Can Go Home Again" contains an extended Flash Back to the day of Frasier's first radio show, during the course of which Niles describes his relationship with Maris by saying, "Like the Arctic puffin, we mate for life." It's doubly symbolic given Maris' constant association with coldness and ice throughout the series.
Invoked and parodied in another episode when Eddie gets depressed. A pet psychiatrist claims that his depression is probably being caused by the behaviour of one of the humans he sees regularly, and encourages Martin, Niles, Frasier and Daphne to act cheerful around him. Roz joins the others and they attempt to analyze themselves to discover the root of the problem. They discover that they're all in some way depressed, but then Eddie finds his favourite toy and cheers up. They joke about how they were following his lead, but their problems can't be solved by a cheap treat, only to perk up when Daphne's cookies finish baking.
