But I have a few suggestions:
1. Watership Down does get close.

2. I really, really, REALLY enjoyed The Fionavar Trilogy by Guy Gavriel Kay.

3. The Book of the Dun Cow and its sequel The Book of Sorrows by Walter Wangerin. I guarantee that you'll never have read anything quite like this. It is very, very surreal. Basically the characters are all animals, apparently living in some pre-Edenic world where there are no humans. Their avowed hidden enemy is Wyrm, an obvious archetype for a satanic figure. Wyrm, of course, is out to despoil Eden. The main characters are Chanticleer the cockerel and his lady love Pertelote. And among the glorious pantheon of weird and wonderful creatures there's a weasel rejoicing in the name of John Wesley Weasel. Now tell me you can resist a story like that.

It's spooky, funny, dark, sometimes shockingly violent, moving and totally original.
