What are some novels or stories that have a profound connection between a human and animal? With themes such as mutual suffering, empathy, mercy etc.
call of the wild
a passion in the desert is pretty good
Nietzsche's "why I have sex with horses" is a seminal classic of the genre
Friedrich Hugs a Horse
Takashi Hiraide's “The Guest Cat” if you have a crush for Japanese poetic realism.

White Fang and The Call of the Wild. Ernest Seton Thompson's work has a unique bond between man and animal, though in some stories it boils down to "I hunted and killed said animal, now I feel like shit". Some of his work is good though.

there's a decent chunk of it in google books for you to see. I'm so far from the target audience my opinion is moot. It's more about feminism & sexual liberation than bearsecks though.

The turin horse is not what op is asking for. Horse plays the role of a symbol, her relationship with the owners is not important at all.
