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:
“Labor came to humanity with the fall from grace and was at best a penitential sacrifice enabling purity through humiliation. Labor was toil, distress, trouble, fatigue—an exertion both painful and compulsory. Labor was our animal condition, struggling to survive in dirt and darkness.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Yet the companions of the Muses
will keep their collective nose in my books
And weary with historical data, they will turn to my dance tune.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
