** Many of the other animals in [=FiM=] are, too. So far, Applejack's dog Winona is one of the few to behave strictly like her species.
*** The [[WordOfGod general rule]] is that the hooved animals are the more anthropomorphic, though the exact boundary is somewhat unclear, with pigs and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it deer seeming more like normal animals, while cows and sheep have some brief lines and a pair of goats appear somewhere between the two.
