What kind of animal does Alice follow in Wonderland?

Alice in Wonderland is festooned with animals, many of whom are major characters in the story. The most famous are probably the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar, although there are a great many others.

The puppy has an interesting significance in that it is the only animal Alice meets which actually behaves like an animal and doesn't speak.

The pig which the baby turns into doesn't speak either, but is extraordinary because it was originally a baby.

Another interesting animal is Alice's pet cat Dinah, who doesn't actually appear in Wonderland at all, but is mentioned many times by Alice during her adventures.
