Xenofiction is a genre of fiction that take the point of view of normal or intelligent animals, nonhumanoid fantasy creatures, or nonhumanoid aliens, with particular attention to differences in perception or outlook. There are stories around the world told in the eyes of plenty of animals: ranging from pets like dogs and cats to wild animals like lions or bears. Some even have the point of view of aliens or fantasy creatures like dragons.
