I have to go back through my massive collection of Filipino/a SF to see if there's anything that fits. None of the stories have appeared in Major American Magazines, though, even the most amazing ones.
Game of Rat and Dragon does touch on human-animal relationships, as you point out. But it's tangential, whereas I know some SF which is centrally about that theme (especially shape-changer stories, genetic engineering stories, or so many "aliens as foils by which to understand humanity" stories), and so I'm surprised the professor doesn't know more stories of this type as well.
Now it's true I was raised on a steady diet of Star Trek, which is all about the alien and/or android foils...
