Why did the USSR send dogs into space?

The USSR sent dogs into space to find out how it would be like for a living organism to travel in a spacecraft and if that were even possible. They did not want to risk putting humans into space until they had built a spacecraft that was safe, since the spacecraft that they sent the first dogs in were not made to land back on earth, therefore, the dogs would inevitably die. Sending dogs into space was a way to gain knowledge about the conditions in space without the expense of a human life.
