I learned from a documentary that Sergey Korolev (the scientist who oversaw the mission) was in fact deeply attached to those dogs and loved them to death.

@nkoundouroglou You are 23 years old. This happened 30 years before you were even conceived. Do you think society was really taking notice of animal rights or vegetarians? No. No, they were not. This was a turning point in science. Laika should be celebrated, not mourned.



She able to play with the children of one of the scientists the night before the launch. Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky wrote, "I wanted to do something nice for her: She had so little time left to live." Atleast she got to feel love once.

We remember and salute you, brave and sad little dog LAIKA. But let us remember that there are animals abandoned and mistreated worldwide RIGHT NOW, TODAY, who could have happy lives if we all offered them our kindness and help. So ... let's adore LAIKA, and honour her sad heroic sacrifice by remembering to help innocent animals STILL ALIVE and NEEDING OUR LOVE and HELP.
