How broadly are animals in media anthropomorphic?

In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale's pet dog Toto is not at all anthropomorphic. Right?

Is it possible for a nonhuman animal to be a fictional "character" without begin anthropomorphic?

Anthropomorphic animals do include more than talking animals. Right? -- P64 ( talk) 21:31, 24 January 2013 (UTC) reply

"Anthropomorphic" is a broad statement meaning that in some way they have been made to be like humans. They can talk, walk, do tricks like humans, wear clothes. Basically, if they are doing at least one thing that is more like a human than like an animal, they are anthropomorphic. This is usually talking animals, but it can be extended to an animal that talks, walks on its hind legs, has some semblance of opposable thumbs if it wouldn't already, wears clothes, and handles tools. Most animals in media are, to some degree, anthropomorphic. You could even consider Buck from The Call of the Wild anthropomorphic, because even though he never talks he has thoughts like a human. However, there are some cases—like Toto—where the animal is not anthropomorphic. Toto is still considered a character, however. ö Brambleberry of RiverClan 14:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Thanks. Buck in The Call of the Wild is a great example for the front page. In my works it's a broad definition that includes animal characters whom some people consider realistic in the non-human animal; others (like me) would say "he has thoughts like a human and not like a dog".

Hanno the gorilla in The Stranger at Green Knowe may be another good example. One reader may call it fantasy only in the premise that an escaped zoo gorilla could survive in the English countryside with cover provided by a small boy. Another may find the friendship incredible.
