Yet Finn's dogs are not quite as other dogs.
They have something of a human soul in them.

They know that in the milk-white fawn they pursue there is an enchanted maiden, and they defend her from the other hounds till Finn arrives.

And it is told of them that sometimes, when the moon is high, they rise from their graves and meet and hunt together, and speak of ancient days.

The supernatural has lessened since the heroic cycle.

But it is still there in the Fenian.
Again, the Fenian cycle of tales is more influenced by Christianity than the others are.
