Yes. There are many examples of symbiotic relationships between plants and animals, many of which are mutualistic*. For example:
Herbivores eat plants, and their droppings propagate new plants and fertilize all. Their grazing also strengthen the existing plants' next growth cycle;
Birds eat berries, sustaining themselves, then disburse the seeds through excretion (droppings), propagating new growth and helping to sustain many plant species. Many kinds of birds and many kinds of animals do this;
Bees use pollen to sustain themselves, and in the process, disburse pollen (pollinate blooms), ensuring the setting of seeds. Many other kinds of insects engage in this activity also.
