I ran across this in Pratchett and Baxter's "The Long War":

"His teeth, eyes, ears, muzzle, nose were all very dog-like, even though, Jansson saw, the overall shape of his skull, with a bulging brow, might have been humanoid. His face sometimes looked human, sometimes wolf-like, like a shifting hologram. His ears were too sharp, his eyes too far apart, his grin too wide, his nose too flat with that blackened tip... And his eyes, yes, it was like looking into the eyes of a wolf."

Humans call them "beagles", and they are carnivorous. I immediately started wondering whether Stephen Baxter is familiar with Traveller.

Any other Vargr-like species in SciFi novels?
