I think I've got it narrowed down to two:

1) Oliphaunt -- because it was never a main character or a speaking character

Thrush --> told Bard the Bowman about Smaug's weak spot in The Hobbit
Pony --> Bill the Pony ('nuff said!)
Dog --> Huan (in the Silmarillion)

OR

2) Dog -- because it was the only one that didn't come into contact with Hobbits

Thrush --> overheard Bilbo speaking
Pony --> Bill the Pony (Sam took care of him)
Oliphaunt --> Frodo and Sam saw one in Ithilien
