Personification is the process of giving human nature or motives (anger, revenge, love etc.) in literature or similar activities to non-human things. This includes animals, mountains, buildings, nations etc.
When you give animals, specifically.a wide range of human attributes (speech, wear clothes, live in little cottages in the woods, etc.) you anthropomorphize them. The process is anthropomorphism.
