Stories read in childhood

If you catch something on the radio, right at the end you hang on to every word so you can search and find it later. I came in on this Jane Smiley interview on horses at the point where Jane talks about how by having an animals point of view, we become cognizant of other species in the world. What non human species comes to your mind first?
Black beauty. I remember parts of chapter 1 with Black Beauty's mother. When I had to share 3 best stories that I liked as a child with children in Singapore as part of a United Way program, I chose Black Beauty and Heidi.
My experience with a horse has been on a ride called 'Rani' in Nainital where she stood on a hill. I was too close to her and being at an angle, slid down with no hurt.
More stories for kids.
