Anthropomorphism attributes human characteristics to non-human entities, like animals and plants, or inanimate objects, like stars or machines. It is widely used by writers in fairy tales, fables, and other types of animal stories. The genre particularly deals with the lives of companion animals and their affinity to their masters. In anthropomorphic stories animals are presented as if they have human emotions, intentions, and behaviors. The blending of human and animal traits allows for a unique and imaginative story telling experience. Here, in this paper, there is an attempt to bring out the anthropomorphic elements evident in Thakazhy’s Vellapokkathil and Padmanabhan’s Shekhutty. Both relate the story of companion dogs as they go through thoughts and emotions similar to those of human beings. As in a stream of consciousness novel, the respective authors take us through the mental and emotional states of ‘Chennan’s Dog’ and ‘Shekhutty’ and bring to light the various facets of their inner worlds. Both are loyal and devoted to their masters, Chennan, a paraya and Damu, a rural business man. When things take the course outside their safe grounds, they are to deal with their singular plights, one left behind on the top of a drowning hut and the other disowned and branded mad. When their basic needs are denied, they show their resistance to those responsible and when their fundamental wants are thwarted, they react with all their physical power and mental strength to their adversaries. Their feelings of hope and expectation, frustration and helplessness and anxiety and despair are all vividly portrayed by the respective authors namely, Thakazhy and Padmanabhan. The dog heroes in their stories feel, react, and suffer like humans when they go through life-threatening situations. All the subtle and delicate feelings of intimacy, devotion and fidelity exhibited by these non-human agents force us believe that the line that separates humans and animals is imaginary and indistinguishable.
