In a Dog's World, by Mary E. Lowd. This is the third time I've read this book - I even bought another copy so I didn't have to retrieve the copy I lent to AA. It's a charming yet simple story of life transition. Our heroine is accepted into the university of her dreams, and a delightful and attractive upperclassman attends her prom as her date. Then, a week before classes start, she goes on a weeklong backpacking trip for freshmen and makes more friends. Back on campus, she meets her roommate and makes yet more friends, and classes begin.
So what do I enjoy so much about this book? Well... it's actually science fiction, set (here in Oregon) about 500 years into the future. Humans have left the planet, but before they went, they "Uplifted" various species into full sapience, with whatever physiological changes were needed to take advantage of it. It's the same world as the Otters in Space series, although earlier in that history. In this one, our heroine is a Siamese cat; her prom date is a yellow lab.
