I remember they were mentioned either in _The_Uplift_War_ or one of the short stories. There WAS a program to uplift dogs, but despite promising early results, they either gave up or had not gotten far enough before the galactics imposed their requirement that Earthclan not uplift any more species. There was also something about it taking far, far too long for the dogs to understand doorknobs. -- Matt _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
