I'd say "Dilbert" is another example. I don't think the strip would be as readable if Dogbert, Catbert, and Ratbert were human beings.
And as a follow-up to your comment about "Non Sequitor", I remember a few years back when one of the more popular strips, "For Better or Worse", gave the family a sheepdog. I think comic strips are like sitcoms in that respect - when they bring in a pet or a new baby, the writers are starting to run out of ideas.
