The album Animals by Pinf Floyd was clearly inspired by George Orwell's Animal Farm.
Animal Farm is a representation of the russian revolution, while Animals is a representation of the capitalistic model in general, so each animal doesn't exactly play the same role
However, there is a big connection:
In Orwell's Animal Farm, the pigs are the leaders, the men in power, the ones opressing the masses. The sheep are the masses in general, the proletariat. In the book, the dogs represent the military, the police.
In Pink Floyd Animals discourse, there are three main songs: Dogs, Pigs and Sheep. Dogs in this case is not about the military. It is more of a dialog between the older members of the bourgouise and the younger ones. The older one is talking about how to be a capitalistic dog and the younger one is complaining about the system and hints an idea of going against it.
Pigs is a description of how ridicule the high class is, and Sheep is a description of how the proletariat thinks.
So, there is a big connection, call it inspiration.
