Animal Companions
Little Bear is Discipline's family dog, rescued by Sandry in the Summersea market from boys who were abusing him. The dog is quickly adopted by Tris, Daja and Briar after they stand by Sandry's side in the fight that her rescue triggers. In later books Little Bear is a fixture in Discipline Cottage, and he travels with Tris in Shatterglass and receives a cursory mention in The Will of the Empress, as well.
Shriek is a nestling that Tris finds while investigating the explosion on a Bit Island with Niko. Despite Niko's protests, Tris brings the abandoned nestling back to Discipline Cottage, where Rosethorn helps her nurse him back to health.

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or companions:
“The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“My only companions were the mice, which came to pick up the crumbs that had been left in those scraps of paper; still, as everywhere, pensioners on man, and not unwisely improving this elevated tract for their habitation. They nibbled what was for them; I nibbled what was for me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
