This all reminds me a lot of this guy:

I ran an NPC golden cat that could speak and cast spells like a cleric. It was interesting. The players actually liked having that character around.

I read some Greyhawk novels that featured a ranger, a pixie or sprite, a hellhound pelt, and a talking badger named Polk. The badger was originally human, but he was killed and reincarnated by druids into a badger. His character was amusing.

Those were by Paul Kidd. As I recall, they were White Plume Mountain, Descent into the Depths of the Earth, and Queen of the Demonweb Pits. There were also some short stories (and game stats) in Dragon.
 


A friend of mine played an awakened Panther Ranger in 3.5. He was a former druid companion, and the druid cast the awaken spell shortly before his death.

Although the campaign didn't last too long, at the time he did a lot of following around another PC, shadowing him.
 


Things that occurred to me about Sir Bearington:

  1. He may have strong opinions on honey tariffs
  2. He may be fond of pic-i-nic baskets
  3. He should have an honorary rank of Major
  4. He REALLY needs to talk to his Dutch relatives about his share of the diamond business
