Yes. The fruit flies flew (haha) before the dogs did.
Fruit flies were launched on a V2 rocket from White Sands in New Mexico, to the edge of space in July 1946 to study the effects of high-altitude radiation. The rocket reached an altitude of about 100 miles.
Belka and Strelka, two Soviet dogs, were the first living creatures to return from space. However, Laika, another dog was the first dog in space, and also the first living creature to orbit the earth. But about five to seven hours into the flight, she died from overheating and stress. Also, 40 mice, some plants and two rats were sent into space with Belka and Strelka.
