Abstract
In Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo, the raven, the horse and the cat are animals that maintain a close existential link to the human beings. In the book, this human being/animal interaction is fundamental to the understanding of philosophical themes such as the identity, the other, and the death. In the story, the raven is the escort of Juan Preciado arrival into the death world. Miguel Paramos’s horse is the only being that genuinely suffers because of the death of its guardian, that is, Miguel’s death. The cat is the animal that make night visits to Susana San Juan to whom it speaks in a way that is understood by the two of them only. The connection between human and animal characters in Pedro Paramo shows the communication among beings that belong to different animal species. In the novel, human beings, ravens, horses, and cats are much more alike than the western anthropocentric culture has it.

Summary
In Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo, the raven, the horse and the cat are animals that maintain a close existential link to the human beings. O romance Pedro Páramo, do escritor mexicano Juan Rulfo (1917-1986), põe em evidência a complexa ligação existencial entre seres humanos e animais num espaço regional e agrícola dominado pela seca e pela morte, e que adentra um espaço paralelo em que as leis físicas não fazem sentido. A definição usual de que o espaço é o cenário das três dimensões físicas não se sustenta mais porque as personagens ‘surgem’ nos espaços, vindas de outros tempos e vindas também da morte.
