Does anyone know about a god/dess who is known to have made animals attack other gods or humans? Preferably from non-European/non-Egyptian mythologies, as I already know about the Greek examples.

Latvian forest mother (meža māte) has some control over animals. I found a folk song:
Jāņu nakti, bāleliņi, Nejājiet pieguļā: Meža māte suņus sauca, Rīdīs jūsu kumeliņus.
Which roughly translates to:
On Midsummer's night, brothers, Do not ride to pastures: The forest mother called the dogs, To attack your foals.
