352. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ performed Ṣalāt towards his she-camel, or his mount, and he would perform Ṣalāt while on his mount, whichever direction it was facing." (Ṣaḥīh) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīh. It is the view of some of the people of knowledge, they do not see any harm in Ṣalāt toward a she-camel that one uses as a Sutrah.
٣٥٢ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى إِلَى بَعِيرِهِ أَوْ رَاحِلَتِهِ،» وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ حَيْثُ مَا تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَهُوَ قَوْلُ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: لَا يَرَوْنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ إِلَى الْبَعِيرِ بَأْسًا أَنْ يَسْتَتِرَ بِهِ.

It is proven from this Hadīth that taking an animal as a Sutrah is allowed so long as the risk of it running and moving away is not involved, which will cause extra disruption and worry in the prayer.
