I don't know if we can know if creatures have the capacity to love- so I'm not sure how to pick this one.
I would say dog- because dog actually seem to enjoy the pleasure of particular people's company. Even if the person who watches your dog when you are on vacation does a better job taking care of the dog than you do- your dog is overly excited to see you at the end of the trip because of the bond you have with them. But who knows, this could be hard-wiring in their brain from the days when they lived as pack animals.
It hard to decide whether coupling in the animal world is done for love or for survival. I've heard that dolphins are possibly the only animals other than humans who have sex just for fun. But who knows if this is true for sure.

That's yourt tag buddy... the UNICORN
That's what I think because I love unicorns!!!
Acording to greek mythology, the rabbit was one of the favorite animals of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. So it could be rabbit.
As per Feng Shui, Phoenix is the symbol of love, happiness, beauty and kindness. Dragon and Phoenix together bring luck, happiness, riches and honor, and is often used as a wedding gift.
It could be teddy bears, as people in love do gift each other teddys'.
Or...
Dolphin: Along with speed, diligence and intelligence the Dolpin is also a messenger of love. This is partly due to its association with Delphi, which signifies the love embodied within the womb. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, was said to take the form of the dolphin and was also known as the Woman of the Sea. When depicted on an anchor or pierced with a trident the Dolphin is a symbol of the church being guided by the love of Christ.
Dove: Long admired for being a symbol of peace, the Dove is also a messenger of deep symbolic love. Slavic legend states that upon dying, the soul is transformed into a Dove which wings its way into the loving heavens. In Hinduism the Dove is an emblem of spirit, and the inifinite capacity the spirit has for love. In Greco-Roman mythology, the dove was a sacred creature to Aphrodite/Venus. Ancient Jewish practices permitted the Dove to be sacrificed as a love gift which signified the purification of a new mother after childbirth. In the West, the Dove (as well as turtledoves) symbolize love and are frequently seen in wedding traditions.
Horse: The seventh sign of the Chinese zodiac, the Horse is equated with practicality and love. As highly skilled horsemen, the Celts attributed the horse to Epona, also known as the Horse Goddess. Among other attributes, Epona was known for abundance, love and fertility. In Mesopotamia there arose a legend that the sun was drawn by a Horse riding across the horizon - the Horse was known as the embodiment of love for the land as it carried life-giving light and warmth with it.
Ladybug: Perhaps best known as an emblem of luck, the Ladybug is a love symbol too. Asian traditions hold to the belief that if caught and then released, the Ladybug will faithfully fly to your true love and whisper your name in his/her ear. Upon hearing the Ladybug's message your true love will hurry his/her way to your side. Ancient farmers of the land have considered the Ladybug a good omen as she controls aphid populations. The number of spots on a Ladybug's back is said to indicate the number of months to pass before the wish for love comes true.
Starfish: In Christian symbolism the Starfish represents the Virgin Mary (Stella Maris which means Star of the Sea) who lovingly creates safe travel over troubled waters and is also seen as an emblem of salvation during trying times. The star as well as the Starfish are seen as celestial symbols and as such, they represent infinite divine love. In addition to love, the Starfish also holds characteristics such as guidance, vigilance, inspiration, brilliance and intuition.
Swan: The Swan holds a multitude of representations including love, grace, purity, beauty and sincerity. Another attribute of Aphrodite, the Swan also symbolized chastity. The Celts believed the Swans were benevolent dieties and legend has it that their images were forged into silver medallions worn around the neck for protection. In Hinduism, the Swan is known as the Hamsa bird and signifies the divine mind and the breath of spirit. The Swan is also another symbol of the Virgin Mary and the purity and love she symbolizes.
The Baboon is a symbol of the god Thoth and also a symbol of love. A baboon is sometimes seen in scenes depicting the 'weighing of the heart' of the dead, perched on top of the scales. He is seen as guardian of the dead in the underworld. It is possible the amulet may serve as a reminder of a family pet!
All the best...
:-)
