Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Okay. Not one of Tchaikovsky's better books. It just felt too derivative. Rex is a hybrid sentient dog with lots of add-ons fighting against insurgents down in southern Mexico. He fights alongside a similarly modified bear, monitor lizard and a group of bees. They are basically slaved to a less than scrupulous handler until they are given their freedom and now they must question what they are trained to do and the morals of the fight.
The story comes in three parts. The first they fight. The second they deal with emancipation. The final part section they fight again. It all felt very familiar and not as inventive as the usual Tchaikovsky.
Yes, I am reading the second book in the series now.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
