Both tales heavily feature the Tines, a race of sentient dog[-like] PACKS: groups of four or five animals who achieve sentience collectively, though individually they're comparable to Earth canines. Even though it wasn't the answer to your question, I can't recommend it highly enough. The Tines are compelling as characters, and Vinge is very much in his element writing them. | |
