Gregory, Eric. "The Harrowers." Lightspeed: Year One, on line here.[1]
A post-catastrophe (plague) undead zombie story, relevant here for modified red bears, each:
a twelve-foot, three-thousand-pound monster bred to consume as much flesh as possible [...]. The companies engineered the red bears to clear the forests of the dead, and on paper, it still sounds like a good idea: Carnivorous cyborg weapons, carrion-eaters with titanium-reinforced skeletons. They were supposed to be uninfectable, a walking immune system for the world outside.
Problem was, they got infected anyway.
So see for the cyborg theme with an ursine embodiment, creating a bear/mechanism interface, and blurring not just the mechanical/organic antithesis but the living/dead as well.
